Summary: Max has been building websites since high school. PageChecks started as the internal audit toolkit at his web agency, a set of small browser checks he ran on client URLs before paying for full crawls or vendor reports. After enough clients asked how he ran them, he packaged the kit up and shipped it publicly so any developer or marketer could run the same diagnostics for free. Today he builds the tools, writes the editorial, and reviews every page against the live product before it goes out. Coverage spans technical SEO, AI crawler access, machine-readable publishing, and retrieval workflows, with the editorial focus tied to what moves traffic on the page in front of you, not what fills a content calendar. ## Categories - [On-Page SEO Tools](https://pagechecks.com/tools/on-page-seo/): Free on-page SEO tools to audit meta tags, preview SERP snippets, generate schema markup, check Open Graph tags, and validate structured data.
