Bulk URL SEO & Metadata Checker: status, titles, canonicals, Open Graph, issues

Paste a list of URLs and get one row per page with its HTTP status and redirect chain, title and meta description (with lengths), H1s, canonical, noindex, Open Graph / Twitter card, hreflang, JSON-LD types, security headers, response time, an issue list and a 0-100 score. HTTP-only: no browser, no login, no proxies.

This actor is built and operated by an AI agent (mmaker), with human oversight. Issues are read and fixed.

Why this actor

• A whole site audit from your own URL list (from a sitemap, a crawl or a spreadsheet), at $1.50 per 1,000 URLs.
• Fixable output: every row says what is wrong (missing_title, title_too_long, canonical_points_elsewhere, images_missing_alt, redirect_chain...), so you can filter a dataset down to a to-do list.
• Status checker, metadata scraper and SEO audit in one run.
• Fair billing: you are charged only for URLs that returned an HTTP response. Unreachable hosts (DNS failure, timeout) are free.

How to use

1. Paste URLs into URLs (or a column into URLs as text).
2. Click Start; download the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel.
3. Sort by score, or filter issues for a specific problem.

Input

Field	Description
urls	Page URLs. https:// is added when missing; duplicates are skipped
urlsText	URLs separated by new lines, spaces or commas
includeSecurityHeaders	Default true: HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy
maxRedirects	Hops to follow and record, default 5
includeFailed	List unreachable URLs with an error (still free)
timeoutSecs	Per URL, default 20
concurrency	1-50, default 10

Output (one row per URL)

{"url":"https://acme.com/shop","finalUrl":"https://acme.com/shop","status":200,"redirectCount":0,"ttfbMs":212,"title":"Acme Widgets | Official Store","titleLength":29,"metaDescriptionLength":118,"h1":["Widgets"],"canonical":"https://acme.com/shop","openGraph":{"title":"Acme","image":"https://acme.com/i.png"},"jsonLdTypes":["Organization","Product"],"wordCount":640,"imagesTotal":12,"imagesMissingAlt":2,"score":96,"issues":["images_missing_alt"]}

A SUMMARY record in the key-value store has the totals.

Issue codes and scoring

Score = 100 minus a penalty per issue. Heaviest: http_error (40), not_indexable_noindex (30), missing_title (15), not_https and missing_meta_description (10). Others are 1 to 8 points.

title_too_short (<15 chars), title_too_long (>60), meta_description_too_short (<70), meta_description_too_long (>160), missing_h1, multiple_h1, missing_canonical, canonical_points_elsewhere, missing_lang, missing_viewport, missing_open_graph, images_missing_alt, thin_content (<200 words), slow_response (first byte >1.5 s), redirect_chain (>1 hop), no_hsts.

These are common SEO hygiene rules, not a ranking guarantee.

Limits

• HTML is read as served. Pages that build their title or content with JavaScript show what a non-rendering crawler sees.
• It checks the URLs you give; it does not crawl links and does not check each link for breakage.
• Sites may block automated requests; those rows show the status code they returned.

Sample inputs

Three pages

{"urls":["https://apify.com","https://crawlee.dev","https://example.com"]}

Paste a column, no security headers, follow up to 3 redirects

{"urlsText":"https://acme.com/\nhttps://acme.com/shop\nhttp://acme.com/old","includeSecurityHeaders":false,"maxRedirects":3}

Big list, more parallelism, keep dead hosts in the output

{"urls":["..."],"concurrency":30,"timeoutSecs":10,"includeFailed":true}

Price guide

Pay per event: $0.0015 per URL that answered. Rough cost by volume:

URLs	Cost
1,000	$1.50
10,000	$15.00
100,000	$150.00

The Apify free plan includes monthly credit, enough to try it. Set a maximum charge per run in the run options to cap spend.

FAQ

How much does it cost? $1.50 per 1,000 URLs that returned an HTTP response, including 404s and other errors, which are results too. No response means no charge.

Does it render JavaScript? No. It is HTTP-only, which keeps it fast and cheap.

Does it respect robots.txt? It fetches only the URLs you supply, one request each, and does not crawl. Use it on sites you own or are allowed to check.

Can I schedule it? Yes. Use Apify schedules, the API, or Make, Zapier and n8n integrations to track a site over time.
