Hey everyone,
I recently launched a small free tools website. It has been live for about 2 weeks. Google has indexed some pages, but indexing feels very slow and inconsistent. Some pages appear with site:practicaltools.co, but many tool pages are still not indexed yet.
I’m trying to understand whether this is normal for a new domain, or if there is something structurally wrong with the site.
What I’ve done so far:
- submitted the sitemap in Google Search Console
- requested indexing for a few important pages
- made sure the pages are crawlable
- added basic titles/descriptions
- added internal links from category pages
-checked that there is no intentional noindex

The site is mostly browser-based tools, so some pages are quite functional/UI-heavy. I’m wondering if Google may see some of them as thin content, even though the tools themselves work.

I’d appreciate feedback on:
- whether the site structure looks okay for indexing
- whether the individual tool pages need more crawlable text/content
-whether the internal linking is strong enough
- whether there are any obvious technical SEO issues
- what you would prioritize first for a new tools site

Not looking for a promotion boost - mainly trying to understand what I should fix before adding more tools.

I built a free collection of simple browser tools and would love honest feedback

Hey everyone,

I recently built a small website called PracticalTools.co.

The idea is simple: free practical tools that work directly in the browser, with no signup, no account, and no annoying flow before you can use them.

Right now it includes things like:

image compression
business/proposal tools
property-related calculators
restaurant/small business tools
fun tools like spin the wheel and team generator

I’m trying to keep it clean, fast, and actually useful, not another bloated “AI tool directory” or signup trap.

I’d love feedback on:

Are the tools clear enough when you land on the site?
Is there anything confusing or missing?
Which tools feel useful, and which feel pointless?
What simple browser-based tool would you personally want for free?

Not trying to hard-sell anything. I’m mainly trying to understand if the direction is useful and what I should improve next.

Thanks!
