Text browser – Lynx viewer
My Lynx Viewer tool helps you view your Web site as it would be displayed in Lynx, a popular text-based Web browser. This tool is useful for Web developers and SEO specialists who want to see how search engines and text browsers see your site, which is crucial for improving accessibility and SEO.
What is Lynx?
Lynx is a text-based Web browser used primarily on UNIX-like operating systems. Lynx displays only the textual content of Web sites, without images, videos, or advanced interactive elements such as JavaScript. This allows you to quickly check how a search engine crawler or restricted user would perceive your site.
Why use a Lynx Viewer?
- Improved accessibility: Make sure your website works well for people who use text browsers, such as those with visual impairments or those who have low-bandwidth connections.
- SEO Analysis: See how search engines such as Google read your website without the distractions of images and other media. This helps optimize content for better findability.
- Load Speed Testing: See how fast your site loads without external media, which is useful for users in environments with limited Internet access.
How does the Lynx Viewer work?
- Enter your URL: Type or paste the URL of the website you want to view through a Lynx simulation.
- Automatic simulation: The tool loads your website in a Lynx-like environment and shows you the pure textual representation of the page.
- Receive Results: You immediately see a view of your website without images, videos, or other interactive elements.
With my Lynx Viewer, you can easily see how your website looks in a text-based browser such as Lynx. This is an effective way to check your site for accessibility and ensure that content is displayed correctly to search engines and users who do not use a graphical interface.
