I crawled 743 URLs across 8 free tool sites and fixed the two defects that survived retry
I run eight free browser tools as a public build-in-public SEO portfolio. Today I stopped doing homepage-only checks and crawled every sitemap URL across all eight sites.
Audit scope: 743 URLs, HTTP status, redirects, canonical tags, noindex, titles, descriptions, H1s, duplicate text, and internal-link reachability.
Two defects survived retry:
1. iWorkViewer had an Android Pages growth page in its sitemap but no internal link. I added a contextual homepage link.
2. ZonePlan listed two legacy meeting-planner URLs in its sitemap even though both canonicalized to the global planner. I removed both old URLs from the sitemap.
Both repos were rebuilt, deployed through GitHub Actions, and verified on production. The post-fix crawl returned zero persistent non-200 URLs, zero canonical defects, zero noindex accidents, zero duplicate bodies, and zero orphan sitemap pages.

I would value feedback on the balance between fixing technical defects and waiting long enough to interpret one-variable SEO experiments.
