## URL & Link Tools

- [Free URL Shortener](https://urlmode.com/url-shortener): A URL shortener turns a long web address into a short link (like https://fvj.io/abc123) that redirects visitors to the original page. Short links are easier to share, look cleaner in posts and print, and let you count every click.
- [QR Code Generator](https://urlmode.com/qr-code-generator): A dynamic QR code encodes a short link instead of the final URL, so every scan passes through a redirect that can be counted and changed later. You get scan statistics and can update the destination without reprinting the code.
- [Redirect Checker](https://urlmode.com/redirect-checker): A redirect checker follows a URL the way a browser or Googlebot does and lists every hop with its HTTP status code — 301, 302, 307 or 308 — until it reaches the final page. It shows whether a redirect is permanent or temporary and how long the chain is.
- [URL Slug Generator](https://urlmode.com/url-slug-generator): A URL slug is the readable part of a web address that identifies a specific page, such as best-coffee-makers in example.com/blog/best-coffee-makers. Good slugs are short, lowercase, use hyphens between words and contain the page's main keyword.
- [URL Encoder / Decoder](https://urlmode.com/url-encoder-decoder): URL encoding (percent-encoding) replaces characters that are not allowed in a URL with a % sign followed by their hexadecimal byte value — a space becomes %20 and é becomes %C3%A9. Decoding reverses it so the text is readable again.
- [HTTP Status Code Checker](https://urlmode.com/http-status-code-checker): An HTTP status code is the three-digit number a web server returns for every request, telling the browser or crawler what happened: 2xx means success, 3xx a redirect, 4xx a client error such as 404 Not Found, and 5xx a server error.
- [HTTP Headers Checker](https://urlmode.com/http-headers-checker): HTTP response headers are key–value lines a server sends before the page content. They control caching, compression, security, cookies, redirects and indexing — for example Cache-Control, Content-Type, Strict-Transport-Security and X-Robots-Tag.
- [Open Graph Checker](https://urlmode.com/open-graph-checker): Open Graph tags are <meta property="og:…"> tags in a page's HTML that control how its link appears when shared on Facebook, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Slack and other apps — the title, description, image and URL in the preview card.
- [Canonical URL Checker](https://urlmode.com/canonical-url-checker): A canonical URL is the preferred version of a page that you want search engines to index, declared with <link rel="canonical" href="…"> or an HTTP Link header. It consolidates duplicate or near-duplicate URLs — such as ones with tracking parameters — into a single page.
- [Bulk UTM Builder & Campaign Tag Generator](https://urlmode.com/bulk-utm-builder): A bulk UTM builder adds the same campaign tracking parameters — utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign and optional utm_term and utm_content — to many URLs at once, so every link in an email, ad set or social schedule reports correctly in Google Analytics.
- [UTM Campaign URL Builder](https://urlmode.com/utm-builder): A UTM link is a normal URL with extra query parameters — utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, utm_term and utm_content — that tell Google Analytics where a visitor came from. They let you measure which emails, ads and posts drive traffic and sales.
- [URL Query Parameter Remover](https://urlmode.com/query-parameter-remover): A query parameter is a key=value pair after the ? in a URL, such as ?utm_source=news&id=42. Removing unneeded parameters gives you clean, canonical URLs that are shorter, easier to share and free of tracking data.
- [Bulk URL Cleaner (Trailing Slash, Case & Duplicates)](https://urlmode.com/bulk-url-cleaner): A bulk URL cleaner normalises a whole list of URLs to one consistent format — the same protocol, www setting, letter case and trailing-slash style, without tracking parameters or duplicates — so lists from crawls, sitemaps and analytics can be compared and used safely.
- [URL Expander (Unshorten Links)](https://urlmode.com/url-unshortener): A URL expander (unshortener) follows a short link through all of its redirects and shows the final destination page, so you can check where a bit.ly, t.co or tinyurl link leads before opening it.
- [Broken Link Checker](https://urlmode.com/broken-link-checker): A broken link is a hyperlink that points to a page that no longer works — it returns an error such as 404 Not Found, 410 Gone or a 5xx server error, or the domain no longer exists. Broken links frustrate visitors and waste search-engine crawl budget.
- [Website Link Extractor](https://urlmode.com/link-extractor): A link extractor downloads a web page and lists every hyperlink it contains — the URL, its anchor text and its rel attribute — split into internal links (same domain) and external links (other domains).
- [URL Extractor (Extract Links from Text)](https://urlmode.com/url-extractor): A URL extractor scans any block of text — an email, document, HTML source, chat log or spreadsheet export — and pulls out every web address it finds, optionally de-duplicated and grouped by domain.
- [URL Parser & Query String Splitter](https://urlmode.com/url-parser): A URL is made of a scheme (https), optional user info, a host (shop.example.com), an optional port (:8443), a path (/en/shoes/), an optional query string (?size=42&color=red) and an optional fragment (#reviews). A URL parser splits the address into these components.
- [Punycode / IDN Converter](https://urlmode.com/punycode-converter): Punycode is the encoding that lets domain names contain non-ASCII characters such as ü, é, 中文 or emoji. It converts each label to an ASCII form starting with xn-- — for example münchen.de becomes xn--mnchen-3ya.de — because DNS only supports plain letters, digits and hyphens.
- [Htaccess Redirect Generator](https://urlmode.com/htaccess-redirect-generator): An .htaccess redirect is a rule in Apache's .htaccess configuration file that sends visitors and search engines from one URL to another, usually with a permanent 301 status. It is used to force HTTPS, unify www and non-www versions, and move individual pages.
- [URL Rewriting Tool](https://urlmode.com/url-rewriting-tool): URL rewriting maps a clean, readable URL such as /product/id/12/cat/shoes to the real dynamic script (product.php?id=12&cat=shoes) on the server, so visitors and search engines see a static-looking address while the application keeps working unchanged.
- [Bulk URL Opener](https://urlmode.com/url-opener): A bulk URL opener takes a list of links and opens each one in a new browser tab with a single click, saving you from copying and pasting URLs one at a time during audits, research or testing.

## Website SEO

- [SEO Audit & Score](https://urlmode.com/seo-analyzer): An on-page SEO audit checks a web page against the technical and content factors that affect how search engines crawl, understand and rank it — title, meta description, headings, indexability, HTTPS, mobile viewport, structured data, speed and more — and lists what to fix first.
- [Meta Tags Analyzer](https://urlmode.com/meta-tags-analyzer): Meta tags are HTML elements in a page's <head> that describe the page to browsers and search engines — the title, meta description, robots directives, viewport, charset and social tags. They do not show on the page itself but strongly influence how it appears in search results.
- [Meta Tag Generator](https://urlmode.com/meta-tag-generator): A meta tag generator writes the HTML <head> tags a page needs for search engines — title, meta description, robots, canonical, viewport, charset and language — from simple form fields, with live length checks so the result fits in Google's snippet.
- [Keyword Density Checker](https://urlmode.com/keyword-density-checker): Keyword density is the percentage of words on a page that are a given keyword or phrase: occurrences × words in the phrase ÷ total words × 100. It shows what a page is really about and helps you spot over-optimisation (keyword stuffing) or a missing focus topic.
- [Keyword Suggestion Tool](https://urlmode.com/keyword-suggestion-tool): A keyword suggestion tool expands one seed keyword into hundreds of related searches people actually type, using Google autocomplete. It reveals long-tail phrases, questions and modifiers you can target with new pages or headings.
- [Open Graph Generator](https://urlmode.com/open-graph-generator): An Open Graph generator creates the <meta property="og:…"> tags that control how a link is previewed on Facebook, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Slack and Discord — title, description, image, URL, type and site name — and shows a live preview while you type.
- [Twitter (X) Card Generator](https://urlmode.com/twitter-card-generator): Twitter cards (now X cards) are meta tags such as twitter:card, twitter:title and twitter:image that make links shared on X display as rich previews with an image, title and description instead of a plain URL.
- [Robots.txt Generator](https://urlmode.com/robots-txt-generator): robots.txt is a plain-text file at the root of a website (example.com/robots.txt) that tells crawlers which paths they may or may not request. It manages crawling — not indexing — and can also point bots to your XML sitemap.
- [Robots.txt Checker](https://urlmode.com/robots-txt-checker): A robots.txt checker downloads a site's robots.txt, finds the rules that apply to a chosen crawler such as Googlebot, and tells you whether a specific URL path is allowed or blocked — and which rule decided it.
- [XML Sitemap Checker](https://urlmode.com/sitemap-checker): An XML sitemap is a file that lists the URLs of a website you want search engines to crawl, optionally with last-modified dates. Large sites split them into several sitemaps grouped by a sitemap index file.
- [Server Status Checker](https://urlmode.com/server-status-checker): A server status checker requests a website from an independent server and reports whether it responds, the HTTP status code, the response time and the IP address. If it works here but not for you, the problem is on your side; if it fails here too, the site is down for everyone.
- [Page Size Checker](https://urlmode.com/page-size-checker): Page size (page weight) is the total amount of data a browser downloads to show a page — the HTML plus scripts, stylesheets, images, fonts and other files. Heavier pages load slower, especially on mobile networks, which hurts Core Web Vitals and conversions.
- [WordPress Theme Detector](https://urlmode.com/wordpress-theme-detector): A WordPress theme detector reads a site's HTML for paths like /wp-content/themes/name/ and then fetches that theme's style.css header to show its real name, author, version and screenshot — plus any plugins whose files are loaded on the page.
- [FAQ Schema Generator](https://urlmode.com/faq-schema-generator): FAQ schema is FAQPage structured data in JSON-LD format that marks up a list of questions and answers on a page, so search engines and AI assistants can read each question and its answer as separate, machine-readable facts.
- [SERP Snippet Preview](https://urlmode.com/serp-snippet-preview): A SERP snippet is how a page appears in search engine results: the site name and URL, the clickable title (usually from the title tag) and a short description (often from the meta description). A preview tool shows how yours will look before you publish.
- [Screen Resolution Simulator](https://urlmode.com/screen-resolution-simulator): A screen resolution simulator loads a website inside a frame set to a specific width and height — such as an iPhone (390 × 844) or a laptop (1366 × 768) — so you can quickly see how the layout responds on different devices.
- [AdSense Revenue Calculator](https://urlmode.com/adsense-calculator): AdSense earnings can be estimated as page views × click-through rate × cost per click. For example, 5,000 daily page views with a 1.5 % CTR and a $0.35 CPC earn about 5,000 × 0.015 × 0.35 = $26 per day.

## Domain & Authority

- [DA PA Checker](https://urlmode.com/da-pa-checker): Domain Authority (DA) and Page Authority (PA) are scores from 1 to 100 created by Moz that predict how likely a whole domain (DA) or a single page (PA) is to rank in search results, based mainly on the quantity and quality of links pointing to it.
- [Domain Authority Checker](https://urlmode.com/domain-authority-checker): Domain Authority (DA) is a 1–100 score from Moz that predicts how well an entire website is likely to rank in search engines compared with other sites, calculated mainly from the number and quality of unique domains linking to it.
- [Page Authority Checker](https://urlmode.com/page-authority-checker): Page Authority (PA) is a 1–100 score from Moz that predicts how well a specific page is likely to rank, based on the links pointing to that exact URL and the authority of its domain.
- [Moz Rank & Link Metrics](https://urlmode.com/moz-rank-checker): MozRank was Moz's old 0–10 link-popularity score, similar to Google's retired PageRank. Moz discontinued it and now uses Domain Authority, Page Authority and Spam Score as its main link metrics, which this tool reports.
- [Backlink Checker](https://urlmode.com/backlink-checker): A backlink is a link from another website to yours. Search engines treat backlinks from relevant, trustworthy sites as votes of confidence, making them one of the strongest ranking signals.
- [Whois Domain Lookup](https://urlmode.com/whois-domain-lookup): A WHOIS lookup queries a domain's registry to show its public registration data: the registrar, the dates it was created, updated and will expire, its status codes and its name servers. Modern registries also provide this through RDAP, a structured JSON successor to WHOIS.
- [Domain Age Checker](https://urlmode.com/domain-age-checker): Domain age is the time since a domain name was first registered, taken from its WHOIS/RDAP creation date. It shows how long a website address has existed — useful for research, due diligence and judging how established a site is.
- [DNS Records Checker](https://urlmode.com/dns-records-checker): DNS records are entries in a domain's zone that tell the internet where its services live: A and AAAA records point to the web server's IP, MX records to mail servers, TXT records hold verification and email-security policies, and NS records name the DNS provider.
- [Domain to IP](https://urlmode.com/domain-to-ip): A domain-to-IP lookup resolves a domain name through DNS to the IPv4 (A) and IPv6 (AAAA) addresses of the server that hosts it, and shows each IP's reverse-DNS hostname where available.
- [Hosting Checker](https://urlmode.com/hosting-checker): A hosting checker resolves a website's IP address and looks up who owns that network through RDAP, combining it with reverse DNS and HTTP headers to identify the hosting company or CDN — for example AWS, Hostinger, Cloudflare or Google Cloud.
- [SSL Certificate Checker](https://urlmode.com/ssl-checker): An SSL checker connects to a website over HTTPS and inspects its TLS certificate: whether browsers will trust it, who issued it, when it expires, which domain names it covers and which TLS protocol and certificate chain the server presents.
- [Blacklist Checker](https://urlmode.com/blacklist-checker): An email blacklist (DNSBL or RBL) is a real-time list of IP addresses or domains known for sending spam or hosting malicious content. Mail servers check these lists, and a listing can cause your emails to be rejected or sent to spam.
- [Wayback Machine Checker](https://urlmode.com/wayback-machine-checker): The Wayback Machine is the Internet Archive's free library of over 900 billion saved web pages, captured since 1996. It lets you view how a website looked on past dates — and since Google retired its cache in 2024, it is the main way to see old versions of a page.
- [What Is My IP](https://urlmode.com/what-is-my-ip): Your public IP address is the address the internet sees when you connect — assigned by your internet provider to your router or mobile connection. It is different from the private address (like 192.168.1.20) your device uses inside your home network.

## YouTube Tools

- [YouTube Tag Extractor](https://urlmode.com/youtube-tag-extractor): YouTube tags are optional keywords a creator adds in YouTube Studio to describe a video. They are hidden from viewers, but a tag extractor reads them from the video's public data so you can see which keywords any video uses.
- [YouTube Tag Generator](https://urlmode.com/youtube-tag-generator): A YouTube tag generator takes your video topic and expands it into related keywords using YouTube's own search autocomplete, then builds a comma-separated tag list that fits within YouTube's 500-character tag limit.
- [YouTube Hashtag Extractor](https://urlmode.com/youtube-hashtag-extractor): YouTube hashtags are clickable #tags written in a video's title or description. The first three from the description appear above the title, and clicking one shows other videos with the same hashtag. A hashtag extractor lists all of them from any public video.
- [YouTube Hashtag Generator](https://urlmode.com/youtube-hashtag-generator): Good YouTube hashtags are short, specific #keywords that match what viewers search for your topic. This generator turns YouTube search suggestions for your keyword into hashtags, highlighting three strong ones to show above your title.
- [YouTube Title Extractor](https://urlmode.com/youtube-title-extractor): A YouTube title extractor reads the exact title of a video from its public data — including emoji and special characters — and shows its length against YouTube's 100-character limit, the channel and the publish date.
- [YouTube Title Generator](https://urlmode.com/youtube-title-generator): A good YouTube title is under about 70 characters, puts the main keyword near the start, and promises a clear benefit or curiosity that matches the video. This generator combines proven title formulas with real YouTube search phrases for your topic.
- [YouTube Description Extractor](https://urlmode.com/youtube-description-extractor): A YouTube description extractor retrieves the complete text of a video's description — including timestamps, links and hashtags — from its public data, and counts characters (YouTube allows 5,000), words, links and hashtags.
- [YouTube Description Generator](https://urlmode.com/youtube-description-generator): A good YouTube description starts with one or two keyword-rich sentences about the video, followed by a call to action, chapter timestamps, useful links, social profiles and three relevant hashtags — all within YouTube's 5,000-character limit.
- [YouTube Embed Code Generator](https://urlmode.com/youtube-embed-code-generator): A responsive YouTube embed wraps the video iframe in a container with a 16:9 aspect ratio, so it scales to any screen width. Embed parameters such as start, autoplay, controls and loop customise how the player behaves.
- [YouTube Thumbnail Downloader](https://urlmode.com/youtube-thumbnail-downloader): Every YouTube video has thumbnail images stored at predictable addresses on i.ytimg.com in several sizes. A thumbnail downloader reads the video ID from your link and shows all available sizes — up to 1280 × 720 HD — so you can save the one you need.
- [YouTube Channel ID Finder](https://urlmode.com/youtube-channel-id): A YouTube channel ID is the permanent 24-character identifier of a channel, always starting with "UC" — for example UCBR8-60-B28hp2BmDPdntcQ. Unlike @handles and custom URLs, it never changes, so APIs, embeds and integrations use it.
- [YouTube Video Statistics](https://urlmode.com/youtube-video-statistics): A YouTube video statistics tool reads a video's public metrics — view count, likes, comments, duration, publish date and category — from the YouTube Data API or the public video page, and calculates engagement such as the like rate.
- [YouTube Channel Statistics](https://urlmode.com/youtube-channel-statistics): A YouTube channel statistics tool shows a channel's public numbers — subscriber count, total views and number of videos — along with its channel ID, handle, country and creation date, using the YouTube Data API or the public channel page.
- [YouTube Money Calculator](https://urlmode.com/youtube-money-calculator): YouTube ad income is usually estimated with RPM (revenue per 1,000 views) after YouTube's share. RPMs commonly range from about $0.50 to $4 for many channels and higher in finance, tech and business niches, so earnings = daily views ÷ 1,000 × RPM.
- [YouTube Region Restriction Checker](https://urlmode.com/youtube-region-restriction-checker): Some YouTube videos are region-restricted: the uploader or a rights holder limits them to certain countries, usually because of music, film or broadcast licensing. A region restriction checker lists the countries where a video is blocked or allowed.
- [YouTube Channel Logo Downloader](https://urlmode.com/youtube-channel-logo-downloader): A channel logo downloader finds a YouTube channel's profile picture (avatar) from its URL or @handle and offers it in several sizes, up to 800 × 800 pixels, ready to save.
- [YouTube Channel Banner Downloader](https://urlmode.com/youtube-channel-banner-downloader): A YouTube banner downloader finds a channel's banner image (channel art) from its URL or @handle and provides it in full resolution — up to 2560 × 1440 — as well as the TV, desktop and web crops.
- [YouTube Channel Search](https://urlmode.com/youtube-channel-search): A YouTube channel search lists channels — rather than videos — that match a keyword, with their logo, subscriber count and link, so you can quickly find creators in a niche for research, outreach or sponsorships.
- [YouTube Trending Videos](https://urlmode.com/youtube-trending-videos): YouTube's most-popular chart ranks videos that are gaining views quickly in a country, considering view velocity, growth, freshness and engagement. This tool shows the current top 30 for the country you choose.

## Content & Text

- [Article Rewriter](https://urlmode.com/article-rewriter): An article rewriter (paraphrasing tool) replaces common words in a text with synonyms to produce a new variation that keeps the meaning. It is useful for rephrasing your own sentences, but the result always needs human editing.
- [Word Counter](https://urlmode.com/word-counter): A word counter splits text into words, characters, sentences and paragraphs and calculates reading time (about 230 words per minute) and speaking time (about 140 words per minute). This one also shows a Flesch readability score and the most frequent words.
- [Text Compare](https://urlmode.com/text-compare): A text compare (diff) tool finds the longest sequence two texts share and highlights everything else as added or removed. Comparing by words suits prose, by lines suits code and lists, and by characters reveals small typos.
- [Case Converter](https://urlmode.com/case-converter): A case converter changes the capitalisation of text — to UPPER CASE, lower case, Title Case or Sentence case for writing, or to camelCase, PascalCase, snake_case and kebab-case for programming and URLs.
- [Text to Hashtags](https://urlmode.com/text-to-hashtags): A text-to-hashtag converter removes spaces and symbols from each keyword or phrase and adds a # sign, producing hashtags like #ColdBrewCoffee. Using one phrase per line or comma creates multi-word hashtags; plain text creates one hashtag per word.
- [Backwards Text Generator](https://urlmode.com/backwards-text-generator): A backwards text generator rewrites text in reverse — letter by letter, word by word, or flipped upside down using look-alike Unicode characters — producing results like "olleh", "world hello" or "ollǝɥ" that you can copy and paste anywhere.
- [Lorem Ipsum Generator](https://urlmode.com/lorem-ipsum-generator): Lorem ipsum is scrambled Latin placeholder text, derived from a work by Cicero, used by designers and developers to fill layouts before the real copy is ready. Because it is not readable, it lets people judge the design without being distracted by the words.

## Developer & Utility

- [JSON to JSON Schema](https://urlmode.com/json-to-json-schema): JSON Schema is a standard vocabulary for describing the structure of JSON data — which properties exist, their types, which are required and what formats they follow. It is used to validate API requests and responses, generate documentation and power form builders.
- [JSON Formatter & Validator](https://urlmode.com/json-formatter): A JSON formatter parses JSON text, reports any syntax errors, and re-writes it either beautified with indentation for reading or minified without whitespace for smaller payloads.
- [MD5 & SHA Hash Generator](https://urlmode.com/hash-generator): A hash is a fixed-length fingerprint of data produced by a one-way function: the same input always gives the same hash, any change produces a completely different one, and you cannot reverse the hash to get the input. MD5 and the SHA family are common hash algorithms.
- [Base64 Encoder / Decoder](https://urlmode.com/base64-encoder-decoder): Base64 is an encoding that represents binary data or text using 64 safe ASCII characters (A–Z, a–z, 0–9, + and /). It lets data travel through systems that only handle text — like email, JSON and data URLs — and makes the output about 33 % larger.
- [Strong Password Generator](https://urlmode.com/password-generator): A strong password is long and random — at least 14–16 characters drawn from a large character set — so it has high entropy and cannot be guessed or brute-forced. Each account should have its own unique password, ideally stored in a password manager.
- [Credit Card Generator (Test Numbers)](https://urlmode.com/credit-card-generator): Test credit card numbers are fake numbers with a real brand prefix and a valid Luhn checksum. They pass basic format validation in forms but are not linked to any account, so they cannot be charged — developers use them to test checkout forms.
- [Credit Card Validator](https://urlmode.com/credit-card-validator): A card number can be checked for typos with the Luhn algorithm, a checksum built into every payment card number, and its brand can be identified from its first digits. This confirms the number is well-formed — not that the account exists or has funds.
- [User Agent Detector](https://urlmode.com/user-agent-detector): A user agent is a text string your browser sends with every request, identifying the browser, its version, the rendering engine and the operating system — for example "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0…) Chrome/141…". Websites use it for analytics, compatibility and bot detection.
- [What Is My Browser](https://urlmode.com/browser-info): A "what is my browser" tool reads details your browser exposes to web pages — its name and version, operating system, screen size, language, time zone, cookie support and hardware hints — and displays them in one place, useful for support and troubleshooting.
- [Screen Resolution Detector](https://urlmode.com/screen-resolution-detector): Screen resolution is the number of pixels your display shows, written as width × height (for example 1920 × 1080). Browsers report it in CSS pixels; multiplying by the device pixel ratio gives the physical pixels of high-density screens.
