I spent $300 on a content audit tool and it was a total waste
For months, I kept seeing ads for this tool that promised to find all your duplicate content and broken links. I finally caved and paid the yearly fee, thinking it would save me hours. After running it on my main site, the report was over 1,000 pages long and full of junk. It flagged my privacy policy as duplicate content because the word 'the' was used a lot, and said links were broken when they just loaded slow. I spent more time sorting through the mess than I would have just checking things myself. The tool didn't understand context at all. Now I'm back to manual checks for the important pages and using free browser extensions for basics. Has anyone found a content audit method that actually works without all the noise?

My buddy had the same thing happen with a tool that flagged "the" as duplicate content lol. He just gave up and went back to checking the big pages by hand.
