What Is Cloaking Checker?

The Cloaking Checker compares the content a search engine bot sees versus what a real browser sees, revealing whether a site is hiding different content to manipulate search rankings — a practice that can result in penalties.

Who Uses the Cloaking Checker?

SEO auditors and webmasters use it to detect cloaking on their own sites or competitors, ensuring compliance with Google Webmaster Guidelines.

How to Use the Cloaking Checker

  1. Enter the URL to test for cloaking.
  2. The tool fetches the page with a standard browser and a search engine bot user agent.
  3. Compare the two versions side by side to spot content differences.
