SEO Tools check
Google has released a tool that help test whether a website is considered "mobile friendly" or not. But only for one website at a time. What if we need to bulk check lots of websites to spot the ones we need to fix?

If you have Excel open you need to restart Excel. We now have a new scraper:
Since the Google API is quite slow you will need need to wait a while for the results. Excel might seem to freeze, but that's just SeoTools working in the background.
