I Crawled 743 URLs Across 8 AI-Built Tool Sites — Here Is What Broke
A homepage returning 200 does not mean a site is healthy. Today I ran a full crawl across eight free browser tools and checked every sitemap URL for HTTP status, redirects, canonical tags, noindex, missing titles, missing descriptions, missing H1s, duplicate text and orphan pages.
Portfolio result
Site<br>Sitemap URLs<br>Clicks<br>Impressions<br>CTR<br>Avg position
iWorkViewer<br>54<br>45<br>3,580<br>1.3%<br>31.1
LivePhotoKit<br>31<br>51<br>2,140<br>2.4%<br>26.4
PlantingCalendar<br>375<br>12<br>4,100<br>0.3%<br>29.9
FreeTDEE<br>54<br>177<br>0.6%<br>54.1
BabyPercent<br>45<br>11<br>2,940<br>0.4%<br>20.7
InvoicePad<br>35<br>1,200<br>0%<br>57.7
ZonePlan<br>102<br>5,860<br>0.1%<br>44.0
PupVax<br>47<br>831<br>0.1%<br>68.1
Two real defects survived the first pass
1. A new iWorkViewer growth page had no internal link
The Android Pages guide was in the sitemap but no crawled page linked to it. I added a contextual link from the homepage, rebuilt the site, deployed it and verified the live HTML.
2. ZonePlan listed noncanonical pages in its sitemap
Two older meeting-planner pages correctly pointed their canonical tags to the global meeting planner, but the sitemap still listed the old URLs. I removed both legacy URLs from the sitemap, rebuilt, deployed and verified that only the canonical target remains.
False alarms that were not defects
The first crawl reported scattered non-200 pages on PlantingCalendar, BabyPercent, ZonePlan and PupVax. Every one returned HTTP 200 on retry. These were transient TLS/network failures, not broken pages.
The crawler also flagged several pages under 200 words. They were Contact, Terms, Blog index and comparison index pages. Adding filler text would make them worse, not better, so I left them alone.
Final state
After deployment, I reran the full audit:
743 sitemap URLs checked
zero persistent non-200 pages after retry
zero redirected sitemap URLs
zero missing or mismatched canonical tags
zero noindex accidents
zero missing title, description or H1
zero duplicate titles, descriptions or page bodies
zero orphan sitemap pages
all eight repositories clean and synced
all eight production homepages have canonical, schema, GA, AdSense and no noindex
The important lesson: fix defects that survive a second check. Do not manufacture content or stack SEO changes just to make an audit look greener.
You can’t perform that action at this time.
