Confirm the permissions (tabs, activeTab, sidePanel, offscreen, contextMenus, storage, etc.). The extension needs access to the current tab to read on‑page HTML and run a full SEO audit. It does not modify the page content. 3.2 Open the side panel After installation: Click the Fennec SEO Auditor icon in the Chrome toolbar. The Chrome side panel will open on the right side. You will see the main Comprehensive Audit view with a loading indicator. The extension automatically runs an initial SEO audit for the active page (unless the URL is a restricted browser page such as chrome://). 4. Using the Side Panel – Main Workflow 4.1 Run a comprehensive SEO audit There are two main ways to start an audit: Side panel home (house icon) Click the home icon in the left menu (Comprehensive Audit).

Click a tab to scroll smoothly to that section. The scroll spy keeps the active tab in sync with your scroll position. You can copy the current URL from the top bar using the copy button. 5. Using Individual SEO Tools (Sub‑Tools) The left menu contains dedicated tools which reuse the same analysis data: H Tags – heading structure and best‑practice hints Schema Analysis – structured data detection and SERP‑style preview Link Analysis – internal / external / nofollow link stats plus detailed table Image Analysis – missing alt text, broken images, large images Meta / Head Detection – detailed head tag breakdown Social Analysis – Open Graph & Twitter card summary Robots.txt Analysis – robots.txt presence, content, Disallow / Sitemap lines Sitemap Analysis – sitemap URLs and basic stats LLMs.txt Check – simple check for AI/LLM‑related declarations What’s Run Detection – lightweight detection of technologies running on the page When you click one of these items: The side panel loads the tool UI. The extension reuses the latest analyzed page data when possible. For tools that require additional network checks (robots.txt, sitemap), extra requests are made in the background. You can always click Comprehensive Audit (home icon) again to return to the full overview and re‑run the complete audit. 6. Context Menu Integration (Right‑Click Menu) Fennec SEO Auditor also adds a page context menu for quick access to external tools. Right‑click on any page.
