1. 4 Free Duplicate Content Checkers Tools

2. 4 Free Duplicate Content Checkers Tools • Search Engines want to provide valuable, original content, so they regard plagiarismas a threat to their users’ experience. • When a Search Engine indexes a web page, it scans the page’s content and then compares the content with other indexed websites. • If a page is found to have plagiarized content, search engines often will penalize the page by lowering its rankings or removing it entirely from search results. Considering the serious penalties that your site can be landed with if it has plagiarized content, it is highly advisable that you check your existing web content, and any content you plan on publishing, for duplication.

Scan for duplication was completed in just a few seconds (of course this will depend on the length of the text, page, or file you’re scanning). • It’s simple, free, and effective!

5. 2. SITELINER TOOL • For checking entire websites for duplicate content, there is Siteliner. Simply paste your site’s URL in the box and it will scan for duplicate content, page load time, the number of words per page, internal and external links, and much more. • Depending on the size of your site the scan can take a few minutes, but the results are well worth the wait. • Once the scan is complete you can click on the results for greater details and even download a report of the scan as a PDF.
