Launched an Instant 360° SEO + UX + AI Audit Toolkit in 2026

Hey Indie Hackers,

I'm a solo dev from Australia, grinding side projects that actually help without the usual enterprise plug or paywalls.

Most SEO tools in 2026 still feel stuck in 2018: slow crawls, legacy interfaces, heavy JavaScript bundles, expensive subscriptions or zero focus on modern user experience signals that Google and search engines actually rank. I got tired of the same old metrics just to see obvious fixes, so I built Traffic Torch - a completely free, instant, browser-based SEO + UX health checker designed for wed devs, small business and indie sites like ours.

Core philosophy: educate everything with what, how and why so everyone can understand it. Every tool teaches why an issue matters and how to solve it, many with plugin solutions. So no cryptic scores without explanation.

I woke up multiple times last night, dreaming about developing a Product SEO tool for eCommerce pages, so that's coming next. But for now here is the current run down of tools, I've built so far. Any tool suggestions in the comments will be appreciated.
