Here you will find some of the best tools that Google has to offer for web developers and website owners.
Webmaster Tools
Webmaster Tools is a web-based application that provides users with plenty of information to help them improve and maintain their website. It includes diagnostic tools for finding crawl errors and identifying malware on the site. Included under the diagnostics is a HTML suggestions page with ideas on how you can improve the code of your site.
Webmaster Tools also allows users to find out what the most popular page is by showing the amount of external links going to it and can also show broken links. There are so many more tools included, which makes Webmaster Tools a very useful tool for any site owner and is more than worth the time to look into.
Google Analytics
Google Analytics gives users useful and relevant statistics about how a website is performing. This tool is very powerful, enabling users to view site visits, what pages are getting the most visits, time spent on the site, where the visitors are coming from and what browsers are being used.
Google Chrome Developer Tools
Google Chrome Developer Tools are a suite of tools designed for developers, which include a JavaScript console, web page inspector and a tab for debugging, testing scripts, timeline-profiling of assets that are being downloaded on a page for tuning the performance and much more.
Google Code Search
Google Code Search is a search engine for source code that developers and programmers can use to find sample code. All of the available source code is indexed and the search syntax allows regular expressions for users who already know what they are looking for. If anyone isn’t comfortable with search syntax then the advanced search has a much simpler interface to allow users to run more specific searches.
Google Website Optimiser
Google Website Optimiser helps users see any issues with their web design by allowing them to design two or more pages and then compare them side by side, which is a process called split testing (or A/B testing). This tool is good for testing ideas and experiments with different page layouts.
Google App Engine
Google App Engine allows app developers to run apps on Google’s infrastructure without having to sacrifice server resources and up time. Users can still use the app on their own domain but if they are tight for cash, then they can use Google’s free domain.
