    <h1 style="font-size:40px;margin-bottom:22px;">SEO tools that respect your time — and your data</h1>
    <p class="muted" style="font-size:16.5px;line-height:1.7;margin-bottom:20px;">Crawlie started from a simple frustration: most "free" SEO tools ask for an email, cap your scans, or hide the useful part behind a paywall. We wanted something you could open, use immediately, and trust.</p>
    <p class="muted" style="font-size:16.5px;line-height:1.7;margin-bottom:20px;">Every audit and every tool on this site runs client-side, in your own browser. When you audit a live URL, we make a single read-only request to fetch that page's HTML — nothing is stored on a server, and nothing you paste or type ever leaves your device unless you choose to download a report.</p>
    <p class="muted" style="font-size:16.5px;line-height:1.7;margin-bottom:44px;">We built the audit around the signals that consistently matter: clear titles and descriptions, one purposeful H1, fast and mobile-friendly pages, structured content, working HTTPS, and shareable social previews. It won't replace a full technical crawl of a 10,000-page site, but it will tell you, honestly and immediately, what to fix first.</p>

      <div style="font-weight:800;font-size:18px;margin-bottom:10px;">What we check</div>
      <p class="muted" style="font-size:14.5px;line-height:1.65;">On-page SEO (titles, descriptions, headings, alt text, canonicals), content quality (word count, readability), technical health (HTTPS, structured data, indexability), mobile readiness, performance proxies (page weight, render-blocking scripts) and social sharing tags.</p>

      <div style="font-weight:800;font-size:18px;margin-bottom:10px;">What we don't do</div>
      <p class="muted" style="font-size:14.5px;line-height:1.65;">We don't create accounts, store your reports, sell your data, or limit how many audits you run. There's no backend database — the whole thing is static files and JavaScript.</p>
