Technical SEO Tools
A small collection of some technical SEO tools I've put together, mostly for my own use, and often to learn how something works, but I hope folks will find them helpful!
If you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear from you at dave@tamethebots.com

Tools & Scripts on Github:
massWebVitals
A node CLI script to grab Largest Contentful Paint, First Input Delay &
Cumulative Layout Shift for a list of pages specified in a .csv file.
The script will load the page, scroll down it's entire length &
capture a video in .webm format, with the CWV overlaid (in most cases).
It will then produce a .csv value with the test results for each URL,
and a reference to the video file.
TwitterScreenShot
A Node CLI tool to make a screenshot of a tweet and create a link. A
twitter embed can add extra weight in JavaScript in a page, this allows
you to create a static image of a tweet from its URL, and a link to it,
which is much lighter.
