About
Checkbot is a Chrome extension that crawls websites and runs SEO, speed, and security checks across hundreds of pages at once. It reports issues such as broken links, duplicate titles, invalid HTML, insecure pages, redirect chains, mixed content, and other web best-practice violations.
The free Basic plan allows 100 URLs per crawl with unlimited crawls and unlimited sites, and it is ad supported. The paid Professional plan increases the crawl limit to 10,000 URLs per crawl and adds localhost crawling, PDF summary reports, CSV export, HTTP Auth password support, and URL skipping controls.

Free Tier Value
This free tier is genuinely usable for small sites: it allows unlimited crawls and unlimited sites, but each crawl is capped at 100 URLs and it stays ad supported. Compared with the cheapest paid option at $10/month, it delivers roughly a quarter of the practical value for small-project checking, so about $2/month.
