Guide overview
Users want a broad utility workspace for site checks, files, domains, performance, and developer tasks.
Purpose
Local tools workspace keeps practical utilities inside the dashboard. It covers URL checks, domain/DNS lookups, performance probes, image and PDF tools, encoders, JSON tools, JWT utilities, and security checks.
Ranking Impact
The workspace helps find and fix issues that can affect crawlability, speed, security, user experience, metadata, and file workflows. It supports SEO operations but does not directly alter rankings.
How To Use It
