🔸Redirect tracer – shows the full redirect path leading to the page. Also shows the HTTP Headers
🔸 User-agent switcher
🔸 Country changer for search results – checks SERPs in other countries without a VPN

If you have a paid subscription with Ahrefs, you will also get SEO metrics for the pages you visit and for the results on SERPs.
⚠️ WARNING! ⚠️

Here is how Ahrefs SEO Toolbar can make your everyday SEO work easier:
1️⃣ On-page SEO report
By clicking on the extension icon or using a keyboard shortcut when browsing a web page, you can access an on-page SEO report that includes:
🔹 Title and Description (for JS-powered websites, you can compare tags in raw HTML and on the rendered version)
🔹 Canonical URL
🔹 Indexability and crawlability aspects (Robots Meta Tags, X-Robots-Tag, canonical tags)
🔹 Heading structure of content
🔹 Page word count
🔹 Social tags (Open Graph Tags and Twitter Cards)
🔹 Images
2️⃣ Structured data checker
This extension can display JSON-LD structured data in a clear and compact view. You don't need to dig into the page code to check its schema.org data.
We've also added a quick way to validate structured data.
3️⃣ Link checker, broken link checker, and link highlighter
Ahrefs SEO Toolbar can read all the outgoing links on a page and highlight them based on the filters you set, including:
🔹 External links
🔹 Internal links
🔹 Nofollow links
🔹 UGC links
🔹 Sponsored links
🔹 Their combination
Moreover, you can check the status of external links and identify broken links and redirects.
4️⃣ HTTP header reader and redirect tracer
With Ahrefs SEO Toolbar, you can easily check HTTP response headers for the URL you visit. This feature can also help you track the redirects or redirect chains that took you to the destination URL. You can check HTTP response headers for every URL in a redirect.
5️⃣ Country changer for SERP (search location simulator)
Ahrefs SEO Toolbar also includes a feature that lets you check search results in any country without needing a VPN or additional services. This search location simulator can help you better understand the differences in search results based on location and optimize your SEO strategy accordingly.
6️⃣ Domain highlighter for SERP
Add up to 10 domains that will be highlighted with color whenever they appear on SERP for the keywords that you're researching.

- (2025-04-05) Jesse Brede: Absolutely amazing tool. I use it all the time at my SEO Agency, Lion's Share Digital (https://lionssharedigital.com). The Ahrefs SEO Toolbar is a game-changer for anyone serious about search engine optimization. This free Chrome extension packs a punch with its robust features, including on-page SEO analysis, broken link checking, and redirect tracing. One of my favorite features is the SERP country changer, which allows me to analyze search results from different regions without needing a VPN—a huge time-saver for international SEO projects. Additionally, the toolbar provides insights into metadata, heading structures, and even structured data, all accessible with just a click. For agencies like mine that focus on delivering tailored SEO strategies, this tool is indispensable. It streamlines workflows by combining multiple functionalities into one extension, eliminating the need for several separate tools. For example, its ability to highlight broken links or analyze keyword difficulty directly on the SERP saves hours of manual work. If you're looking to elevate your SEO game or need expert help optimizing your website, check out Lion's Share Digital. We specialize in creating custom strategies that drive results—just like how this toolbar helps us deliver exceptional value to our clients.

- (2025-03-17) Michael Lang: Very good extension. If you need to monitor your SEO its one of the best!
- (2025-03-17) Simon Ojha: As a digital marketing team heavily reliant on Ahrefs data, we've noticed significant discrepancies between the Ahrefs Toolbar and the main Ahrefs dashboard lately. The toolbar metrics (DR, backlinks, traffic) are showing completely different numbers compared to what we see in our Ahrefs subscription dashboard. A perfect example of this inaccuracy is Medium.com. The toolbar shows roughly 564M backlinks, while the actual Ahrefs dashboard shows over 700M backlinks. This massive difference of nearly 150M backlinks is concerning and misleading for our team's work. Same goes for RD, traffic and keyword metrics. This inconsistency is causing problems for our team's workflow, as we can't trust the quick metrics we see while browsing websites. We have to constantly cross-reference with the main Ahrefs platform, which defeats the purpose of having the toolbar in the first place. This inaccuracy is unacceptable for a professional SEO tool, especially when we're making quick decisions during client meetings or competitor research. Until this significant accuracy issue is fixed, we cannot recommend this toolbar to other SEO professionals. We're considering removing it from our team's browsers as it's currently causing more confusion than convenience.

- (2025-01-16) Tarek Jahan: Hi, Anton Zhukov The DR metric is not come back yet for the free users, then why you are telling lie?
- (2025-01-15) Vlad: [LATEST UPDATE - January 15, 2024] Can confirm it's working again. Thank you very much! I think it would be helpful if the extension description could be more transparent about which features are included in the free plan vs. paid subscription. The extension works well now, but I think better documentation might help new users. --------------- [ORIGINAL REVIEW - January 12, 2025] They removed access to see DR for free and changed the extension description, but they don't tell you at the start. The remaining features are pretty basic and I'd prefer the Detailed extension over this (I'm not affiliated with Detailed). Here's what it says in the description: *** If you have a paid subscription with Ahrefs, you will also get SEO metrics for the pages you visit and for the results on SERPs. ⚠️ WARNING! ⚠️ This extension does not provide free access to Ahrefs' metrics. For that, an active Ahrefs subscription is required. However, all other features of the extension are completely free and do not require registration. ***
- (2025-01-13) Ethan: Removed the DR number for free users. Horrible move and is now useless like the MozBar extension.
- (2025-01-13) Nirmitha MW: DR number has been removed since 2025, and its not free anymore. Useless extension now. Note: found a better free alternative from Chrome Web Store: "SEO Metrics Snapshot".
- (2025-01-13) Marcus Anthony Cyganiak: DR number was removed from the extension's icon. Terrible move.
- (2025-01-08) Muhammad Raheel: Everyone, I was using ahrefs chrome extension since 3 years, I just check DR from the ahref for free of cost but from January 2025 I am unable to check DR for free from Ahrefs chrome extension. What is the problem with that and How I can check DR again with ahrefs chrome extension free of cost?
- (2025-01-07) Kristina Jhon Elon: I am very happy to use it. This is very great tool to check the websites DR and Traffic etc. Thanks so much.
- (2025-01-04) Abdul Gaffar (SEO Expert): Great tools
- (2024-12-28) Rohan Khadatkar: It's clean and very useful.
- (2024-12-26) James Kosharsky: Nothing useful in free version except show results position #. This extension is just a vehicle for them to coax people into paid subscriptions. It's free, but not really since there is nothing useful. I've seen this type of thing with ahrefs several times, including shady practice in their youtube videos. No thank you.
- (2024-12-19) Tharaka: In opera browser it won't show SERP details. Search tools isn't working in Opera browser. There's no any guide to fix this.
- (2024-12-18) Ajith Kumar: Really great product
- (2024-12-02) Jace Sleeman: a bit helpful
