seo-checker-pro

🚀 seo-checker-pro is a professional, production-ready website SEO auditor and analysis tool for Node.js. It allows developers to crawl websites, calculate overall SEO scores, inspect security certificates, test page performance speed, analyze readability scores, check for broken links, and generate premium PDF, HTML, and JSON reports.

Available as both a JavaScript API and a CLI Tool!

🌟 Key Features

• Core SEO Analysis: Checks Page Title, Meta Description, Meta Keywords, Canonical URL alignment, Robots Meta, Open Graph (OG), Twitter Cards, JSON-LD Structured Data, and mobile-friendly viewport tags.
• Content Audit: Estimates word counts, paragraph statistics, heading structure consistency (H1-H6, checking for missing or duplicate H1 tags), keyword density, and calculates Flesch Reading Ease scores.
• Image SEO: Counts images, flags missing alt attributes, checks for modern optimized formats (WebP, AVIF, SVG), checks for responsive attributes (srcset), checks lazy-loading, and generates an Image SEO subscore.
• Hyperlink Auditor: Counts internal/external URLs, identifies nofollow rel targets, and verifies link health by performing asynchronous HTTP status requests (with smart HEAD/GET fallbacks).
• Performance Metrics: Measures page load speed, checks HTML file sizes, counts CSS/JS external files and inline tags, identifies render-blocking resources, and warns of CLS (layout shift) risks.
• Security Assessment: Verifies HTTPS protocol, retrieves TLS/SSL peer certificate expiration details and authority issuers using Node's native tls layer, and checks for critical response security headers (HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options, etc.).
• Robust Export System: Exports audits into clean, structured raw JSON files, premium responsive HTML report pages, or multi-page PDF documents.
• Advanced Capabilities:
  • Bulk Mode: Audit hundreds of URLs in parallel with controlled concurrency.
  • Comparison Mode: Compare two websites side-by-side to highlight who scores higher, loads faster, and has better optimizations.
  • Robots.txt & Sitemap Integration: Analyzes rules and detects sitemaps automatically.

🛠️ JavaScript API

1. Analyze a Single Website

const { analyzeSEO, exportToHtml, exportToPdf } = require("seo-checker-pro");

async function runAudit() {
  try {
    const report = await analyzeSEO("https://example.com", {
      checkBrokenLinks: true,      // Set to false to bypass pinging links
      maxLinksToCheck: 20,         // Limits tested hyperlinks to avoid timeouts
      timeout: 8000,               // Connection timeout in ms
      headers: {
        "Custom-Header": "audit-client"
      }
    });

    console.log("Overall Score:", report.overallScore);
    console.log("Strengths:", report.strengths);
    console.log("Issues:", report.issues);

    // Export reports to disk
    exportToHtml(report, "./reports/audit.html");
    await exportToPdf(report, "./reports/audit.pdf");

  } catch (error) {
    console.error("Audit failed:", error.message);
  }
}

runAudit();

2. Website Comparison

Compare two websites side-by-side to review their metrics:

const { compareWebsites } = require("seo-checker-pro");

async function runComparison() {
  const comparison = await compareWebsites("https://site-a.com", "https://site-b.com");
  console.log("Comparison Results:", comparison.comparison);
}

runComparison();

3. Bulk Analysis

const { bulkAnalyze } = require("seo-checker-pro");

async function runBulk() {
  const urls = [
    "https://example.com",
    "https://google.com",
    "https://github.com"
  ];
  
  const results = await bulkAnalyze(urls, { concurrency: 2 });
  results.forEach(res => {
    if (res.success) {
      console.log(`${res.url} scored ${res.report.overallScore}/100`);
    } else {
      console.log(`Failed ${res.url}: ${res.error}`);
    }
  });
}

runBulk();
