SEO Scanner: Boost Website's Search Visibility

Laravel SEO Scanner scans your code and crawls the routes from your app. Additionally, it has 24 checks that assess performance, configurations, meta tags, and content quality.

Configure which routes to scan, exclude or include specific checks, and even add your own! Completing checks will further improve the SEO score and therefore increase ranking potential.
