Analyze URL structure for SEO best practices. Check length, depth, parameters, hyphens, keywords, and HTTPS. Score with recommendations.
Paste a URL and this tool judges its structure the way SEO guidance does: length, path depth, query parameters, word separators, keyword presence, and HTTPS. Each check passes or flags, the flags produce recommendations, and the results roll up into one score. The surprise for most users: the score is structure-only. A short URL still fails on underscores or tracking parameters, and the fixes apply to URLs you are about to publish - rewriting a live URL without a 301 redirect from the old path destroys rankings instead of improving them.
A concrete input and expected output from the current implementation.
Input
https://example.com/blog/post_title_2024?id=123&ref=partner
Expected output
HTTPS: pass - secure scheme Length: 59 characters - short Depth: 2 path segments - flat Parameters: 2 (id, ref) - flag: query string dilutes the keyword slug Separators: underscore in post_title_2024 - flag: replace with hyphens Keywords: "post title 2024" readable in the slug - pass Overall: 4 of 6 checks pass. Suggested rewrite: https://example.com/blog/post-title-2024 with the parameters removed.
Four checks pass on inspection of the string itself: the scheme is https, the URL is 59 characters, the path is two segments deep, and the slug reads as words. The two flags are equally visible: the underscore joins "post" and "title" into one token where Google's guidance calls for hyphens, and the id and ref parameters add tracking clutter. The suggested rewrite is exactly those two fixes applied.
The tool separates the URL into scheme, host, path segments, and query string before judging anything. It counts total characters for the length check, counts path segments for depth, enumerates every parameter, and inspects the slug for separators: hyphens split words cleanly, while underscores merge them. It then looks for readable keyword terms in the slug and confirms the scheme is https://.
Each check ends as pass or flag. Flags feed the recommendation list with a concrete rewrite, such as swapping underscores for hyphens or stripping parameters, and all checks aggregate into the single score. The score is guidance, not a prediction: it reflects the URL's shape at the moment of analysis, so treat a high score as a clean bill of health for structure only.
No, and the tool does not claim otherwise. Structure is one factor among many - content relevance, backlinks, page speed, and site authority all weigh more. What a good score buys you is one less thing to fix later: the URL never becomes a liability. Use the recommendations as a pre-publication checklist and keep expectations at that level.
In a URL, an underscore glues words together - search engines treat post_title as a single token, so the words stop reading as separate terms. A hyphen keeps them distinct and human-readable. Google's own URL structure guidance recommends hyphens over underscores, so the flag is standard practice rather than this tool's opinion.
