The installation is very simple, just type in the Chrome Web Store search engine the name of the specific extension and click “Add to Chrome”.
If we want to manage our extensions already installed, we click on the three dots on the right corner of our browser and follow the following path: My tools > Extensions.
We will access to a screen where we visualize all our installed extensions. If we click on “Remove” the application will be deactivated and will no longer be displayed in the extensions bar of your browser, but it is not uninstalled, so you can activate it again.

Web Developer
Web Developer, this extension is very complete and useful not only for SEO professionals but also for anyone who works with websites normally.
This extension consists of a toolbar that provides us with a lot of information regarding a website, especially the on page aspects. It is an essential multitasking SEO extension for its simplicity and for being very complete.
The features that I recommend the most for SEO Web Developer are:

Finally, another extremely useful feature of this SEO extension is that it gives us data about the internal links of a particular landinig, such as whether they are
“Nofollow” or “Dofollow”

Redirect Path is a Google Chrome SEO extension that allows us to see the response codes and all the redirects of a specific landing page.

Block Yourself from Analytics is an extremely useful extension for its functionality, which allows us to block any website from the Google Analytics tool.
The stores in which we are working the SEO or we are going to start working it, we will always be interested to see how it evolves according to some KPIs, many of these performance objectives are seen through the Google Analytics tool, and therefore we are interested in blocking our IP in this tool.
This way we will obtain much cleaner metrics.
