Checking a site's sitemap and URL health usually means switching to a new tab, pasting in the URL, and waiting for a crawl. The Chrome extension puts the same instant crawl in a side panel next to whatever page you're already on — useful for quickly checking a client site, a competitor, or your own site mid-browse without breaking your flow.
Signing In
The extension authenticates through a standard browser sign-in popup rather than asking you to paste in credentials or an API key by hand. Once signed in, it stays signed in — the extension remembers you between browser sessions the same way any other extension does.
Three Views in the Side Panel
- List — every crawled URL with a status indicator, filterable to just broken links, just redirects, or just healthy pages, so you can zero in on problems instead of scrolling a full list.
- Map — the same site rendered as a visual structure diagram rather than a flat list, useful for getting a sense of how a site is organized at a glance.
- History — previous scans, so you can check back on a site you looked at earlier without re-running the crawl from scratch.
Reading a Result
Each URL is labeled clearly rather than showing a bare status code: an unreachable page reads "UNREACHABLE," a redirect shows the status code and where it points, and a failing page is marked with its code directly. The goal is that you can read the result at a glance without knowing what every HTTP status code means. For the full picture on what those codes and redirect chains indicate, see how to check your sitemap health.
Same Limits as Your Plan
Extension scans draw from the same daily scan allowance as your account plan — it's an additional way to reach the crawler, not a separate unlimited tool. If you hit the daily limit in the extension, it's the same limit as scanning from the dashboard.
