This tool diagnoses common causes and effects of duplicate content penalties, and may take a few moments to load.
  1. It tries to diagnose the common www vs non-www duplicate content issue by checking the headers returned by both versions of the url, the current cache in google, and possible PR dispersion.
  2. It checks for the common default page error where both the / and /index.html (or other default page) return 200/OK headers.
  3. It checks for incorrect 404 pages which deliver a 200/OK Header
  4. It checks for supplemental pages in the Google index.
