✨ WHAT MAKES THIS EXTENSION UNIQUE? 

🤖 ZERO-CLICK DIAGNOSTICS, FULLY AUTOMATIC ANALYSIS
The extension works automatically in the background:
• Fetches and parses robots.txt on page load
• Extracts meta robots tags from DOM automatically
• Captures HTTP headers via request interception
• Validates canonical configuration instantly
• Updates toolbar icon color based on status

You don't need to click anything - just look at your toolbar icon!

🎨 SMART ICON COLOR INDICATOR
Our extension icon changes color automatically to alert you about indexability issues:
• 🟢 Green: Page is INDEXABLE - all checks passed
• 🟡 Orange: WARNING - potential issues detected (e.g., canonicalized to different URL)
• 🔴 Red: BLOCKED - page is not indexable (noindex, robots.txt disallow)

This visual feedback lets you instantly know the indexability status of any page you visit without even opening the extension!

❓ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)

Q: Do I need to click something to run the check?
A: No! Analysis runs automatically on every page load.

Q: Why does Google Index show "UNKNOWN" or "AUTH REQ"?
A: Google may show a CAPTCHA when too many site: searches are performed. Simply click the Google Index card to open the search in a new tab, solve the CAPTCHA once, and future checks will work normally. This is a Google anti-bot protection, not an extension issue.

Q: Will it slow down my browsing?
A: No. All checks run asynchronously in the background.

Q: Does it work on localhost?
A: Yes! Perfect for testing during development.

Q: Does it work offline?
A: Robots.txt fetching requires internet, but DOM analysis works offline.

Q: Is it really free?
A: 100% free, no premium version, no hidden costs.

Q: Does it work on SPAs (Single Page Applications)?
A: Yes! The extension monitors URL changes and re-analyzes automatically.
