Browser spell check
Useful while someone is editing text in a form or CMS, but limited to the page and field you are actively working in.
Best for: Draft-time editing and quick fixes.
Step-by-step workflow for website spell checking
How to spell check your website without wasting time on the wrong pages
Last updated April 8, 2026
By Site Spell Checker Editorial Team
The fastest way to spell check a website is to audit the live pages visitors actually see, starting with homepage, pricing, signup, and help content. This guide shows when to use browser tools, page-level checks, and a full-site scan.
Before you start
This workflow is for published websites, not draft copy. If content is still being written, a writing assistant may be enough. If you need to QA what is already live, check the public URLs directly.
Proofreading Your Website
Please wait while we check your website for spelling errors, grammar mistakes, and more. This may take a few moments...

Single-page online checker
Good when you need to inspect one live page fast without setting up a broader site scan.

Full-site scan
The practical method when you need to review a live website at scale and catch issues across many pages.
Best for: Launch QA, migrations, and recurring site-wide review.
Recommended process
Run the review in four practical steps
-
1
Start with the pages that matter most
Review homepage, pricing, signup, checkout, and core product pages before you spend time on long-tail content.
-
2
Choose the right checking method
Use browser or page-level checks for quick edits, but use a full-site spell checker when the site is already live and broad coverage matters.
-
3
Review flagged items in context
Look at the page and sentence, not just the word, so you can separate real issues from brand names or approved product terms.
-
4
Fix money pages first
Handle the pages tied most directly to trust and conversion before cleaning up the archive.
Audit order
What to check first
- Homepage, pricing, and primary landing pages.
- Signup, checkout, and billing flows.
- Product pages, feature pages, and onboarding copy.
- Help center, docs, and older blog posts.
Best practices
Keep the workflow clean
Check the site regularly after launches and copy updates. Use custom dictionaries for approved brand names and technical terms. Always review flagged items in context before changing copy.
For larger sites, automation is usually the better long-term answer than trying to remember manual checks.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I turn on automatic spell check?
In Chrome, go to Settings > Languages > Spell check and enable "Check for spelling errors when you type text on web pages." For broader website review, use a full-site spell checker that can crawl the live site automatically.
Can I check my entire website at once?
Yes. A full-site spell checker can crawl many pages automatically, which is the most practical way to review a live website at scale.
What is the difference between spell check and grammar check?
Spell checking identifies misspelled words, while grammar checking identifies sentence-level issues, punctuation mistakes, and incorrect word usage. A full website QA workflow should include both.
