RankRevive tries to answer the question every hit site asks after a Google spam update: what did I get penalised for. It checks a site against known spam signals and reports back with specifics rather than a vague score.
The detection runs server-side, split into modules that each look for one thing: a cloaking detector, a hidden text and link scanner, a thin-content analyzer that uses SimHash to catch near-duplicates, and a doorway-page detector. Every module records its findings per URL with a risk score and the evidence behind it, so a result can be explained rather than just asserted. A thin Manifest V3 Chrome extension queues audits and polls for the results.
Highlights
- Separate detectors for cloaking, hidden text and links, thin content, and doorway pages
- SimHash near-duplicate detection for thin or spun content
- Per-URL, per-module risk scores with the evidence attached
- A lightweight Chrome extension that queues audits and polls for results
- Server-side engine on ASP.NET Core with Azure hosting
