My Website Tools

For those of you who eat up my RSS feed (thank you), you may not know that I have some pretty helpful tools on my website.

Alexa Rank Fetcher

Your Alexa rank can come into play when you try to sell advertising on your website.

Don't make your website visitors download your bloated CSS file! Use my CSS compressor to clear extra whitespace!

Need to know if that domain is available? Use my domain checker. I wont auto-reserve it like Network Solutions -- I promise!

Need to know how many pages your customer has indexed in Google since you gave them a great SEO run? Find out!

Have some text you know doesn't need to be updated again? Pack it for good!
