Sourcer · viewsource.tech

View source & SEO snapshot in seconds.

Q: What does Sourcer check?

Sourcer fetches the public HTML of a URL and reports title and meta description length, H1 structure, Open Graph and Twitter cards, schema.org / JSON-LD presence, image ALT coverage, canonical and robots directives, plus robots.txt and sitemap.xml reachability.

Q: How is Sourcer different from a full SEO crawl tool?

Sourcer is a fast single-page view-source and SEO snapshot. It does not replace sitewide crawlers for large audits; it helps you inspect one URL quickly on desktop or mobile.

Q: Can I share a scan report?

Yes. After a scan you can copy a shareable report link. Recipients open the path-based report URL and Sourcer re-fetches that public page to show the source and SEO snapshot.

Paste any public URL. Sourcer fetches the HTML, lets you inspect the source, and builds a free SEO snapshot — meta tags, headings, social previews, and structured data.

Tip: paste without https:// and it will be normalized automatically.

How it works

What Sourcer checks on every scan

Every scan pulls the live HTML of a public URL and scores on-page SEO signals you can verify yourself in the source.

Title & meta description — length and presence for search snippets.
Heading structure — especially a single clear H1.
Social previews — Open Graph and Twitter Card tags.
Structured data — schema.org microdata and JSON-LD scripts.
Images — missing ALT text count.
Crawl hints — canonical, robots meta, robots.txt, and sitemap.xml reachability.

Sourcer is a single-page inspector, not a full site crawler. Use it when you need a fast, mobile-friendly view of one URL’s source and SEO basics.
