Below are 20 tools that will be introduced. Some of them can provide a detailed analysis and report for the website you submit, even suggesting how to solve some issues on your site for optimization purposes. Others only offer a general analysis. I believe most of these will help with your SEO work and make maintaining your website more interesting.
1. **Website Grader**
Website Grader is one of my favorite SEO analysis tools because it provides comprehensive and highly usable analysis. Through Website Grader, you’ll receive a very detailed report about the website you submit. The report covers various aspects such as page structure, domain information, title and summary information (h1, h2, h3 tags), Google index count and last bot crawl date, RSS validity, backlink counts from Google/Yahoo/Alexa/MSN, Technorati ranking, del.icio.us bookmarks, Alexa rank, and Google PageRank value. It also scores the submitted website and provides suggestions for resolving any issues found. Typically, the recommendations provided by Website Grader are quite valuable, clearly pointing out where problems exist and how they can be resolved.
