I coded a chrome pluign called "SEO Live Test" previously "Obtrusive Live Testing Framework".

It collects the live cycle of the page load, including static Dom, Dom ready Dom, JS executed Live Dom and runs various tests on those (plus some on the collected HTTP responses). All of the issues outline would have been fetched. Tests can be extended so any special cases minded.

See here https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/franz-enzenhofer-s... a few thousand+ installs by now. If I would code it today it would make it part of the dev tools propably.

The book to understand this approach to SEO and the rules in this framework is free for Hacker News readers btw https://gumroad.com/l/understanding-seo/hacker-news

This looks really cool! I’ll definitely be checking it out. I’m fairly new to SEO so this may be a beginner question- what is the benefit of using this plug-in versus using the built in dev tools Lighthouse tool?

on top of my head: canonical check, ending slash / no ending slash collision check, GSC traffic check, noindex check on HTTP&HTML level, rel-alternate cross-page check, title tag best practice check, highlighter of parameterized URLs, internal link spot checking check, static dom vs rendered dom comparision

and extendable
