Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Playwright-powered fetch backend for SEO Solver

Readme

@seo-solver/fetch-playwright

@seo-solver/fetch-playwright is an optional Playwright-backed fetch implementation. It speaks the same fetch contract as @seo-solver/fetch, but uses a browser engine when you need browser-like loading behavior.

Installation

pnpm add @seo-solver/fetch-playwright playwright
pnpm exec playwright install

What this package gives you

  • a simple fetchUrl() helper with the same result shape as @seo-solver/fetch
  • a reusable createFetcher() API for longer-lived browser-backed fetching
  • compatibility with the shared fetch backend model used by the CLI
  • a clean path for opting into browser-based fetching without changing downstream extraction or validation code

Simple API

import { fetchUrl } from '@seo-solver/fetch-playwright';

const result = await fetchUrl('https://example.com');

console.log(result.statusCode);
console.log(result.url);

This is the easiest way to fetch through Playwright while keeping the same normalized result contract used elsewhere in the monorepo.

Advanced API

The application uses the reusable fetcher form when it wants to control the backend lifecycle explicitly.

import { createFetcher } from '@seo-solver/fetch-playwright';

const fetcher = createFetcher();

try {
  const result = await fetcher.fetch('https://example.com');
  console.log(result.resourceType);
} finally {
  await fetcher.dispose();
}

Use the advanced form when you want to reuse the same backend instance across multiple requests.

Before you use it

This package assumes Playwright is installed and browser binaries are available. If those prerequisites are missing, the higher-level CLI path will surface a clear install hint instead of failing silently.
