A cloaking checker looks for signs that a page shows search engines something different from what visitors see. Cloaking breaks Google's spam policies and can lead to a manual action. This tool fetches the page you enter, tests its HTML against six common cloaking and sneaky-redirect signals, and gives a verdict.
The six checks are: whether the page redirects to a different domain; whether the HTML contains a meta refresh redirect; whether it uses a JavaScript redirect (window.location); whether it contains CSS that hides content (display:none or visibility:hidden); whether it uses white text that could hide keywords; and whether the page has at least 100 words of visible text. Each check shows pass or fail with the detail behind it.
Reading the verdict: no failed checks gives "No cloaking signals detected", one gives "Minor concerns, review manually", and two or more give "Potential cloaking signals found". A failed check is a lead, not proof. Almost every legitimate site uses hidden CSS for menus and tabs and white text on dark sections, so look at what is hidden and why.
Limits: the tool fetches the page once, with its own crawler user agent. It does not request the page as Googlebot, compare two versions side by side or run JavaScript. To see exactly what Googlebot receives, use the URL Inspection tool in Google Search Console (Test live URL, then View tested page) and compare it with what you see in a browser.
