The Website Spell Checker is a powerful Chrome extension designed to help you identify and correct spelling mistakes directly within web pages. Whether you're proofreading a blog post, checking the text on your website, or simply reading online content, this extension makes it easy to spot and fix errors without any hassle.

Key Features:
