Frequently asked questions
Do the tools need sign up?
No. Open a tool and use it in your browser.
Are the tools free?
Yes. There are no fees, no subscriptions, and no accounts.
Do the tools work on a phone?
Yes. Pages are built to fit a phone screen.
Is my input sent anywhere?
For most tools, no. They run in your browser. The Low Value Content Checker fetches the public pages of the site you ask it to check, and the numbers you type are used in your browser only.
What is a manual action in the checker?
It means a person at Google checked a site and penalised it for breaking Google's rules. You find it in Search Console under Security and manual actions. If one is listed, fix what it names and ask for a review.
Is the checker's percent a Google score?
No. It is this tool's own estimate from the scan and the numbers you type in. It is never 0 or 100, and Google makes the final decision.
How often are new tools added?
New tools are added regularly, one by one. The homepage lists only the tools that work now.
