How do you view the source code?

By on November 7th, 2007. Posted in SEO tools

Viewing the source of a website is always a good starting point when doing an SEO health check. Let’s look at a few ways:

  1. Do you use 'ctr+u' in firefox and take the old fashioned approach of checking out the code?
  2. Do you put on your xray specs to see key elements?
  3. My current favourite is the 'inspect’ option using firebug.
  4. Another option is to use the web developer extension and there is little doubt that its the best all rounder. Use the 'Outline block level elements' and 'Show elements names when outlining' to view HTML elements.

Do you have a another handy way?
