How many SEO tools are on this list?

ToolForge currently hosts 57 tools in total, with the SEO-specific ones grouped into the six categories above. Every one opens directly in the browser with no sign-up.

Which tools work fully offline in my browser?

Tools that only process text or files you provide — word counter, keyword density, JSON formatter, image compressor, PDF utilities and the encoders — run entirely client-side, so your content never leaves your device.

Which order should I use these tools in?

Keywords first, then on-page tags, then content quality, then technical crawling, then backlinks, then speed and monitoring. The SEO guide walks through that same sequence with explanations.

Do the tools have usage limits?

No per-day quotas and no watermarks. Some tools that need third-party search or link data show a provider-connection state instead of inventing numbers.
