Browser Extension
Install the RankParse extension on Chrome, Edge, or Firefox to inspect on-page SEO and pull domain metrics for any page.
The RankParse browser extension brings on-page SEO inspection and on-demand domain metrics into your browser. It runs on Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Firefox from a single codebase.

- Firefox Add-ons (AMO) — see extension landing page
All store links are listed on the extension landing page.
Connect your API key
DOM-only features work without an account. To unlock domain metrics and SERP overlays:
- Open your API keys page and copy a key (the
rp_…token). - Click the RankParse icon in your browser toolbar → Options.
- Paste the key and save.
The key is stored in your browser's local extension storage. It is only ever sent to api.rankparse.com for authentication.
What it does
Free — always on, no credits
- Title, meta description, canonical, Open Graph, Twitter Card, robots

All of this is computed locally from the page DOM. No network requests are made.
Domain metrics — on demand

SERP overlays — on demand
On Google search result pages, the extension can render an authority score next to each result. The toggle defaults to off; flip it on in Options if you want it. Each result row costs 1 credit per domain.
Privacy
- No browsing history is collected.
- Page content is read locally — never transmitted.
- Domain lookups send only the domain name (e.g.
example.com) toapi.rankparse.com. Full URLs are never sent. - The SERP content script only activates on
google.comresults pages.
Full details are on the privacy page.
Permissions
The extension requests:
- Active tab — to read DOM of the page you're currently viewing.
- Storage — to save your API key and cache domain lookups for 24 hours.
- Host permissions for
*.google.com— only for the SERP overlay; revoke at any time in browser settings.
