// Why SEO Toggle? //
A key part of SEO is ensuring that search engines can find and access your critical content — ideally, without relying on JavaScript.
SEO Toggle allows you to quickly test how your website behaves when key resources like JS, CSS, Images, and Cookies are disabled, helping you identify content that remains easily accessible to crawlers.
It’s also common for more complex websites to serve different content based on user-agent detection (for example, serving one version to Googlebot and another to regular users).
With SEO Toggle’s user-agent simulation, you can easily spot any differences and ensure your site complies with SEO best practices.
With Google now operating a mobile-first index, SEO Toggle makes it simple to simulate a mobile crawler’s experience. Combine device emulation, custom user-agents, and resource blocking to fully audit your site in the same way a search engine would.
