DEV Community: pSEO Wizard

I open-sourced my free SEO tools as a Next.js toolkit (and what I learned building a safe crawler)

I build a programmatic SEO tool, and along the way I made a few small free utilities. They turned out to be useful on their own, so I rewrote them as a clean, self-hostable Next.js project: open-seo-toolkit.

Live demo: https://open-seo-toolkit.vercel.app
GitHub: https://github.com/cmkmteam-blip/open-seo-toolkit

The tools

Keyword mixer. Combine up to 4 lists (services × cities × modifiers), dedupe, export CSV or TXT. Runs entirely in the browser.

Bulk slug generator. Most slug libraries break on non-English text. This one handles Turkish (İ/ı/ğ/ş), German ß, accents, Arabic and Cyrillic, and lets you either transliterate to ASCII or keep the native script. Duplicates get -2, -3.

Hreflang generator. Outputs HTML <link> tags, an XML sitemap block or an HTTP Link header, with x-default. It warns about common mistakes like en-UK (should be en-GB) and relative URLs.

Site crawler. Reports missing titles, meta descriptions and H1s, images without alt text, and broken links together with the pages that link to them. Export as CSV.

Building a crawler you can safely deploy publicly

A crawler inside a public web app is an open invitation for abuse, so most of the work went into guardrails:

SSRF protection: block localhost, private IP ranges and cloud metadata addresses, checked after DNS resolution and again on every redirect.
Politeness: respects robots.txt and Crawl-delay, with a default delay between requests.
Limits: max pages per crawl, per-request timeout and a per-IP rate limit.
Redirect handling: a site that redirects / to /en shouldn't be crawled twice.

Results stream to the UI while the crawl runs, so you're not staring at a spinner.

No accounts, no tracking

Everything works without environment variables. There's an optional AI keyword-ideas panel that only shows up if you add your own Gemini API key, so it never runs on anyone else's quota.

Deploy your own

One click with the Deploy to Vercel button in the README, or clone it and run npm run dev.

Disclosure: I'm the maker of pSEO Wizard, a programmatic SEO page generator. The demo shows a small card about it after results. The toolkit itself is MIT, so fork it and make it yours.

Feedback and PRs welcome. What SEO tool would you add next?

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this.

Stop Hardcoding Pages: The "Headless" Programmatic SEO Architecture for 2025

pSEO Wizard — Mon, 08 Dec 2025 18:10:14 +0000

As developers, we hate repetitive tasks. Building one landing page is fun; building 1,000 pages for every city or service combination is a nightmare.

For a long time, Programmatic SEO (pSEO) was a "rich company's game." You either paid $200/mo for enterprise software or hacked together a messy Python script that broke your WordPress database.

I recently started using a newer tool called pSEO Wizard, and it caught my eye because it solves the "Platform Lock-in" problem. It treats content as data, not just pages.

Here is why this "Lightweight" approach is interesting for devs and marketers.

Platform Agnostic (The "Connect Anything" Logic)
Most tools force you to use their CMS. pSEO Wizard takes a decoupled approach. It acts as a content engine that can push to almost anywhere.

It doesn’t just generate raw files; it has direct integration workflows for:

WordPress & WooCommerce: Pushes content directly as posts/products.
Shopify: Great for e-commerce programmatic collections.
Webflow: Syncs via CMS API.
Code Export: For us, Next.js/React developers, it exports clean JSON or Excel/CSV files that we can simply drop into our repository (with a pre-built Sitemap included).

Going Global (i18n Native)
Usually, translating pSEO pages is a secondary pain. This tool seems to handle 12+ international languages (Arabic, English, Chinese, etc.) natively during the generation phase. It doesn't just translate; it generates the content in that language context, which is huge for local SEO in non-English markets.

The "Anti-Spam" Architecture
This is the part that matters most for long-term survival. Google hates "thin content" spam. The tool creates content with a proper Blog Structure by default. It encourages internal linking and generates unique variations for each page to avoid the "Duplicate Content" penalty. It’s built to be indexed, not banned.

Developer-Friendly Pricing
Instead of the dreaded "$99/month" subscription for a tool you use once, it uses a Pay-as-you-go model. You pay a symbolic price per generated page (cents, not dollars). For a dev building an MVP or testing a niche, this low barrier to entry is refreshing.

Summary
If you are looking to deploy a massive amount of landing pages without managing a heavy database or paying recurring fees, the "Headless pSEO" approach is the way to go.

It’s worth checking out if you want to automate your SEO layer without writing the boilerplate yourself.
