Checks if the title of the result in the SERP matches the title of the URL

checkTitles.js

Just drag the code to the browser's bookmark bar, or create a new bookmark and paste the code in the URL field. Then when you do a search, just click on the bookmark and it will return the original titles.

Thank you, very useful, but still with some ugly bugs:

Hey Fede, really nice one!
Many thanks for sharing :-)

Si los sitios tienen protección por cloudflare no muestra el title "escrapeado" por lo demás funciona perfectamente!

Thanks for this tool, really helpful. 👏

Well done it will really help SEO professionals
Thanks for sharing it

Thanks For This

Hey, I am not getting the proper view, can some one suggest me what to do?
Only 1st one is proceed, no effect from 2nd result.

Thank you, very useful, but still with some ugly bugs:

The webiste you're showing in your screenshot is using the charset=iso-8859-1, as you can see in the source. If it were to use utf8, everything would be fine :) So I don't think it's a task for Fede to cope with this :)

How do i do this in safari on mac?

Fede, Gracias!!! 🙏🙌👏

Very nice tool. Can you tell, why some results gets these error?

@mikkellauge Read here: https://www.simply.com/dk/support/faq/php/36/ (in Danish). You have to deactivate your web host's Web Application Firewall.

Thanks @jaegermark :)

No conocia estos proxies que usas y me parece una idea genial para ir rapidito con javascript. Gracias @fedegomez

this is amazing, thanks @fedegomez - is there a chance of having one for meta descriptions as well? that'd be awesome, thanks!!

Hi, this is exactly what I have been looking for but can't seem to get it to work. I am on a Mac. I have added the code to the URL of the bookmark. I presume that I just do a google search for a keyword term and then press the bookmark? It would be amazing to get it working. Any help gratefully received.

Thanks
