Keyboard-free shortcuts that turn any page into a launchpad for audits, SERP tweaks, and external lookups—no popup required.
How to Open
- Right-click the page and choose
Sprout SEO Extension. - Some entries are browser-dependent (e.g., JavaScript toggle) and may be hidden if the API is unavailable.
What’s Included
- Rich Results & Schema: Open Google Rich Results Test or Schema.org Validator for the current URL.
- JavaScript & Rendered Source: Toggle JavaScript on/off (where supported) and view rendered source.
- Link tooling: Highlight internal/external links; run quick
site:and-inurl:Google searches. - Speed tests: Send the page to WebPageTest, GTMetrix, PageSpeed Insights, or Lighthouse.
- SERP helpers: Remove Google breadcrumbs; show position numbers on results.
- External lookups: Jump to Ahrefs, SE Ranking, Archive.org, BuzzSumo, Majestic, Moz, Semrush, SimilarWeb, and Sistrix for the current site.

Workflow Wins (why this is faster)
- Launch validators and speed tests without opening the popup—best for rapid triage when you’re mid-browse.
- Context-aware links prefill the current page/domain, cutting copy/paste steps for external tools.
- JavaScript toggle + rendered source give instant “with/without JS” comparisons for troubleshooting cloaking, hydration, or client-side rendering.
- Link highlighting +
site:/-inurl:searches speed up IA checks and manual SERP spot-audits.
Recommended Plays
- Indexability sweep: Open Rich Results + Schema validators, then x-robots/meta in popup if needed.
- Performance poke: Fire PageSpeed + WebPageTest in parallel while you stay on the page.
- Cloaking sniff test: Toggle JS off, view rendered source, re-enable, compare.
- Link sanity: Highlight internal vs. external to spot mis-wired navs; run
site:to confirm indexing surface.
Tips & Troubleshooting
- If the menu is missing, reload the extension or reinstall to rebuild context menus.
- JavaScript toggle only appears when the browser exposes the required API; otherwise you’ll just see “View Rendered Source.”
- Each action opens in a new tab; allow pop-ups for smoother use.
- Restricted surfaces (web stores, chrome://, file://, some SERPs) may hide or no-op certain actions; try a regular HTTPS page to confirm.
