I've been using ChatGPT 5.2 a lot lately, creating Chrome extensions to simplify my SEO consulting work.

Here are the SEO extensions I've built--they're all free:

  • CrUX Metrics - reports on Chrome User Experience (aka Core Web Vitals) metrics for the current page, and the site overall, for both mobile and desktop
  • Social Media Tags Extractor - reports on Open Graph and Twittercard tags for the current page
  • All Images Extractor produces a table of all foreground images on the page, reporting image filename, ALT text, file size, and dimensions.
  • Page meta data extractor - shows the page title (and length), meta description (and length), H1 heading, canonical, http response code, and meta robots tag for the current page
  • Spam blacklist checker - checks the subdomain of the current page URL against my LinkFBI blacklist, reporting on why I blacklisted it
  • Page load time tool launcher - launches GTMetrix and Pagespeed Insights in new tabs for the current page URL
  • Word counter - counts the visible words on the page
  • Link counter - counts all outbound links in the current page, totally by internal, other subdomains of the same root, and other domains
  • Floating image inspector - shows image filename, ALT text, whether or not it's lazy-loaded, file size, image dimensions (original and displayed) as you float your mouse over images on the page
  • And for the real SEO nerds who have their own SEMRush API key: this extension fetches all of the backlink stats from SEMRush for the given page.

And now for something completely different! I built an extension that leverages the brilliance of Cooked.Wiki to extract the ingredients and steps from a recipe page, throwing away all the ads and preliminary nonsense. Get it here, or read more about it here.
