From installation to your first report.

Install version 0.4.1

Submitted for Chrome Web Store review. Use the developer ZIP while review is pending.

1. Download extension 0.4.1 and extract the ZIP to a folder you will keep.
2. Enter chrome://extensions in Chrome's address bar and turn on Developer mode.
3. Choose Load unpacked and select the extracted folder that directly contains manifest.json.
4. Visit an HTTP or HTTPS website, open the extensions menu and select DTCUP Site Analyzer. Pin it to the toolbar if useful.

Local analysis needs no DTCUP account or companion desktop application. Chrome restricts access to its internal pages and the Chrome Web Store.

Use Quick View and the full report

Click the extension icon to open a compact window over the current page. Page Info shows title and description, provider metrics, page counts and technical information. Content lists the heading structure; Audit groups checks; Schema shows detected markup. The provider tab organizes optional external reports.

Choose View full report for Page Info, Audit, Keyword Density, Links, Compare and the selected provider. Use supported filters and table controls to inspect collected items. Export JSON or CSV, or open the printable report and choose Chrome's Print / Save as PDF action.

Check responses and compare pages

Network checks make bounded requests for the document, robots.txt, sitemap and selected links or resources. Probe requests omit cookies and HTTP credentials, so an authenticated page may respond differently. Failures, timeouts and unavailable results remain visible.

Add a captured page to Compare or enter supported comparison URLs. The extension may open temporary tabs to collect page evidence, then closes those tabs. Saved snapshots remain in your browser until removed.

Choose SEObar and SERP Overlay settings

Settings contain General, Parameters, SEObar, SERP Overlay and Integrations. Set your language, keyword stop words, minimum count, link-check limit, toolbar position, theme and displayed metrics.

Enable the page toolbar or supported Google search-result overlay when you need it. Search analysis reads currently rendered results; changes to search-page structure can affect detection. Enable or disable either feature in settings.

Connect your own Semrush or Ahrefs API access

1. Open Settings → Integrations in the extension and select the provider.
2. Choose Connect and complete the connection method shown. Enter any required API credential only in the extension's connection dialog.
3. Review the metric, target and available allowance before explicitly retrieving provider data.

A normal provider website login does not itself grant API access. Your account needs the relevant API plan, report permissions and credits. Requests can send a URL, domain or keyword and selected parameters directly to that provider, and may consume your allowance. A rejected or unavailable API does not prevent local analysis.

Credentials are encrypted locally and retained across restarts until you choose Disconnect. Provider revocation, permission changes, browser-data clearing or loss of the local encryption key can require reconnecting. DTCUP does not provide shared API credits.

Optionally synchronize personal preferences

Open My settings and sign in through your existing DTCUP login. Registration uses the same DTCUP account. The dashboard manages only your own preferences.

Choose Connect extension and approve the account handoff to pair the official installed extension. The website detects only approved DTCUP installations; availability is not a connected account. Pairing is explicit. Save settings stores your preferences in your account and updates the connected, compatible extension. If the extension is unavailable or needs an update, your preferences remain saved and are read on the next connection. The dashboard shows connection status last reported by that paired extension, rather than a fresh provider authorization check. Provider API keys remain inside the extension and are excluded from settings synchronization and exports.

Remove data, disconnect or update

Use extension settings and report controls to remove local reports and comparison records. Disconnect a provider to remove its stored connection. Disconnect DTCUP sync in the extension to revoke that device's access. Signing out of the website ends that dashboard session.

Delete downloaded exports separately from their saved location. Uninstalling clears browser-managed extension storage; it does not automatically delete previously synchronized account settings. Contact admin@dtcup.com for account-data requests.

For developer updates, replace the contents of the same extension folder with the new package and reload it from Chrome's extensions page. Back up reports you need before changing or removing the extension. Never send API keys or private reports in a support request.
