uTPro.Feature.UrlViewer 3.0.0

uTPro URL Viewer for Umbraco

Fetch any URL from inside the Umbraco backoffice and see exactly what a search engine or browser sees — redirect chain, response headers, HTML source, and a full static analysis including a composite SEO score.

Supports Umbraco 16, 17 and 18.

What it does

Installing this package adds a URL Viewer section to the backoffice navigation. Users assigned to the section get a single URL Viewer tab.

URL Viewer tab

Enter any URL, pick the scheme (HTTP/HTTPS), user agent and referrer, then fetch. You get:

• Full redirect chain — every hop with status code and raw response headers.
• HTML source viewer — line numbers, word-wrap toggle, copy-to-clipboard, spam-word highlighting.
• Composite SEO score (0–100) — Lighthouse-style checklist with per-category sub-scores (SEO / Technical / Content / Accessibility) and individual check pass/fail + remediation advice.
• On-page SEO analysis — title, meta description, canonical, H1/H2/H3 list, noindex / nofollow, lang.
• Social tags — Open Graph and Twitter Card, social-profile links, pixel detection (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Analytics).
• Technical SEO — charset, gzip/br compression, browser caching, HTTPS, schema.org markup, viewport, favicon.
• Content metrics — word and paragraph count, Flesch readability, keyword density, thin-content flag.
• Accessibility subset — aria-label / aria-describedby counts, skip-to-content link, heading structure, inputs missing a label.
• Carbon estimate — CO₂e per page view with an A–F rating.
• Spam / hidden-CSS / JavaScript analysis — common hack injection patterns, hidden elements, eval / document.write / base64 obfuscation and more.
• Cloaking detection — compares what the bot sees versus what Chrome sees (title, status code, content-size difference).
• VirusTotal link for the fetched domain.

REST API

Every fetch is also available as an authenticated JSON API (POST /umbraco/management/api/v1/utpro/url-viewer/fetch) — useful for CI pipelines or external tooling. The response includes the full analysis.audit object and the seoScore.

Architecture

This package is built on the framework-agnostic T4VN.Seo.Core engine, which provides the fetch pipeline, all analysis and SeoScorer — the single source of truth for the SEO score. Both this package and the companion site crawler (uTPro.Feature.SEOAudit) share the same engine, so scores are identical everywhere.

(this package)           (site-wide crawler — optional companion)

Install alongside the SEO Audit

If you also install uTPro.Feature.SEOAudit, its Site Audit and Error URLs dashboards appear in the same SEO Audit section, and a per-node SEO Audit tab is added to every Content/Media editor. Each package works independently — install only what you need.

Security

All API endpoints are backoffice-secured under /umbraco/management/api/v1/utpro/... and require Settings-section access. Server-side fetches run behind an SSRF guard that blocks private/local addresses (RFC-1918, localhost, .local, CGNAT, link-local, IPv6 ULA/loopback) and re-checks on every redirect hop.

Installation

dotnet add package uTPro.Feature.UrlViewer

Configuration

No configuration is required for the URL Viewer tool itself. If you need to fetch internal/dev hosts:

{
  "uTPro": {
    "Feature": {
      "UrlViewer": {
        "AllowInternalHosts": false,
        "AllowInvalidCertificates": false
      }
    }
  }
}

Building the package

pwsh ./pack.ps1
