Bulk URL opener is not just a usual multiple URL opener. Switch between links and keywords modes and pick Google or any other destination that you use for searches. This will be useful in SEO, competitive analysis, content generation, web design, testing, and any other field. No installations are required.
What Does This Tool Do?
This tool converts a plain list of links or keywords into a list of browser tabs. In URL mode, this tool opens each website address provided. In the keyword mode, it searches the provided search engine or platform with each of the phrases. The list could be pasted, imported from a TXT file, copied back into the clipboard, or cleared.
| Option | What It’s For | What Happens |
| URL mode | Websites, landing pages, articles, profiles, or reports | Each link is opened in its tab |
| Keyword mode | Topics, questions, product names, or search terms | Each keyword is searched separately |
| Search Engine menu | Choosing Google or another available destination | Searches are performed in the chosen search engine |
| Load | Literally loading an already created text file | Lists are placed into the input box |
| Copy | Backup and sharing operations | All contents of the input box are copied |
| Clear | Resetting of the process | The existing list is deleted |
Both modes are available on one single page. Thus, no additional tools are required to either open websites or make several searches. The tool may work as a link opener, multiple search opener, bulk keyword opener, or quick research opener.
How to Open Multiple URLs at Once
First of all, you need to collect the addresses of the websites you would like to visit. Then paste the addresses into the big input field or use the Load button to upload a TXT file. Ensure that the switch is in URL mode, and press the Open button. The browser may ask you to confirm the opening of multiple tabs, especially for the first time.
The best way to make the process neat is to use one complete link per each new line:
https://example.com/page-one https://example.com/page-two https://example.com/page-three
Comma-separated and space-separated lists can be used as well:
example.com, website.com, another-site.com
It is highly recommended to put https:// in front of every link wherever possible. Fully written links are easier to parse both by the program and by your browser.
Run Multiple Keyword Searches
Keyword mode is helpful if you don’t know websites’ addresses but only have search phrases. Simply copy and paste phrases one per line, set the switch to the search button, and pick the destination where you want to do your searching from the menu. Once you click Open, every phrase will open its own result page.
Below you can see an example of such a list of keywords:

Picking Google as the search engine makes this tool the convenient way to launch mass Google searches. Instead of typing all search phrases manually, you can open all result pages at once and switch between them while doing your research.
Such an approach is perfect for comparing the search intent, analyzing the competition, coming up with new content ideas, product research, etc. This tool just opens the searches for you; it does not do any web scraping or analysis of pages.
URL Mode and Keyword Mode Explained
The switch located below the search engine menu is responsible for the mode of your list. It is a small switch but important nonetheless.
URL Mode
Go for URL mode if your list consists of URLs. They could be full URLs, homepages, landing pages, articles, product pages, official documents, social media profiles, staging pages, and other links. When you copy ten page URLs into the tool, it will immediately open ten destination pages.
Keyword Mode
If your list consists of words, phrases, topics, and questions, you should go for the keyword mode. The tool will create a search with every item you provide. The phrase “small business accounting software” should be provided in keyword mode, while “https://example.com/accounting-software” should be in URL mode.
It will help you avoid confusing search queries with partial links and prevent legitimate website addresses from being run through the search engine.
Open Multiple Links From a TXT File
The Load option will be very convenient in case you have a prepared list. Just create a text file with one address or search term on each line and save it in .txt format. Load the file, have a quick review of the imported addresses/terms, set the proper mode, and then press Open.
A URL list may include:
https://codlico.com/ https://google.com/ https://youtube.com/
A keyword list can be:
content marketing trends website accessibility checklist best free developer tools
TXT files can be really handy for regular tasks. You can have your own list of clients’ landing pages, competitor reviews, and frequently checked search terms. This tool is designed for TXT files only, so you’d better open Excel sheets or CSV files in their original programs.
Open Multiple Links From Excel or Google Sheets
Many link lists start as spreadsheets. You may have downloaded them from an SEO crawler, gotten them from a coworker, or just assembled them during your research. There is no special Excel script needed to load them into our tool. Select the cells containing the addresses, copy them, paste them into the tool, and click Open in URL mode.
The procedure is identical for Google Spreadsheets. Copy the column you need and paste it into the input field. Normally rows will be placed on separate lines, making your list easily inspectable prior to its launch.
It is a great time-saver when you need to check backlink lists, campaign destinations, product pages, redirect targets, business profiles, editorial sources, or any other crawl exports. Just keep in mind that the cells must contain the URLs. It often happens that the spreadsheet shows you some clickable text but does not actually contain the address itself.
It is also possible to copy keyword lists in the same fashion. Paste the phrases into the input field, switch to keyword mode, pick a search engine, and launch the queries.
Built for SEO and Search Research
SEO tasks usually begin with a list. It may be the list of URLs that you have from your crawl, the list of queries from keyword research, or a bunch of competitor pages for which you need some manual inspection. The purpose of this tool is to help you get from this list to the actual pages without pasting the same URLs a dozen times.
Technical Page Reviews
After you’ve performed your site crawl, there will be situations where you need to check certain pages manually. Simply paste your URLs that are problematic because of the following reasons: indexing problems, wrong canonicals, incorrect redirects, duplicate templates, missing metadata, thin content, localization issues, or pages that are in migration.
This tool does not crawl the site and does not perform any HTTP checks; rather, it only helps you to transition between your exported report and actual pages, where you have to make some decisions that cannot be done automatically.
Competitor Content Analysis
Take all the URLs ranking for your topic and open them in bulk. Having each competitor open in a separate tab allows easy comparison of the search intent, headings used, content, internal linking, visuals, CTAs, positioning of the product/service, and answering of FAQs.
The same method can be applied to category pages, resource center pages, case study pages, service pages, and landing pages of your competitors. It is way easier to spot patterns if you have them opened side by side, rather than visiting one page after another.
Keyword and SERP research
If you need to compare several keywords related to the same topic, you should activate the keywords tab. The slightest variation in the keyword phrasing may lead to completely different results, which become evident if the keywords are opened side by side.
For example:
website audit tool free website audit tool technical website audit tool website audit tool for agencies
Every keyword opens in a separate tab with search results. This way you can see the ranking pages, detect any difference in intent, and check whether Google considers the keywords variations of the same meaning or not.
Google Search Console Workflows
Sometimes Google Search Console reports contain lists of pages requiring an additional manual inspection. Take all those URLs and open the web pages in order to see problems in indexing, page experience reports, structured data, security issues, and pages that became visible/invisible.
This is not an indexation or page removal service. It does not automatically submit URLs to Google, export data from Search Console, or remove pages from the search index. The purpose of this tool is only to open the pages in order to manually inspect them.
Digital Marketing and Campaign Review
Marketing departments deal with numerous links: paid-search landing pages, destinations of emails, URLs for social campaigns, affiliate links, offers, tracking parameters, etc. By opening them all in one place, you will make a pre-launch review easier and more efficient.
It could be used for checking UTM parameters, expired offers, broken forms, wrong destination addresses, missing tracking scripts, different headlines, regional page versions, etc. It also helps in regularly reviewing your marketing campaigns. Create a TXT file of pre-approved links and open them each time you need a review of your pages before publishing ads or sending out reports.
Content Research Without Repeated Copying
It is typical that people doing research, writing, editing, or studying face the necessity to read many articles or other sources at once. It becomes quite annoying to open each piece of content manually just before beginning any work. Just copy all the addresses into URL mode, open all of them, and browse through tabs in your own order.
Keyword mode may be useful at earlier stages. Write several questions, topics, and phrases and open them all together. After getting useful sources, write down their addresses and make a final list in URL mode.
An example of the workflow in research may include the following steps:
- Launch several searches.
- Choose the most valuable sources.
- Copy the addresses of sources into a document or a spreadsheet.
- Copy the list to URL mode.
- Open all the sources for reading.
This small step of planning will keep the processes of search and evaluation separated.
Web Development and Quality Assurance
Developers and quality assurance professionals may have to access the same set of pages post-release. A multiple link opener is able to open up staging routes, production pages, previewed builds, translated pages, new templates, documentation pages, redirects, login pages, or confirmation pages all at once.
During a migration process, the user can open up all of the legacy pages in one set and all of the migrated pages in another. The user can then easily compare the two sets regarding content, structure, navigation, metadata, canonical tags, tracking scripts, and redirect functionality. Multilingual projects often require that the links be grouped by languages and opened up in batches.
This application does not perform any automated tests. The application will not validate the HTML, submit any forms, check for performance, or look for broken links, but it will greatly improve the efficiency in which the required pages are accessed.
An Online Alternative to a Browser Extension
A lot of people seek an extension to open URLs in bulk or a Chrome plugin that will help them to do the same. The extensions are helpful, especially if you need the functionality of a toolbar or collection saving. But they have to be installed and may ask for more permissions.
The Codlico is used directly from the browser. You just need to open the page, enter your list, and use the service when you need it. It may be handy if you share your computer or use some temporary devices or work on some computer with restrictions regarding extensions or you simply don’t like to install extra plugins in your browser.
This may also be helpful if you often switch between Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, and Brave browsers because the page is independent from any browser profile and it is possible to use direct links and search phrases.
However, it is not an extension for Chrome and Firefox. There are people who prefer the extension, which allows saving lists permanently, using the toolbar features, background processing, or automatic tab grouping.
Open Multiple Tabs More Reliably
The security measure against pages that attempt to open multiple tabs simultaneously is quite understandable but at the same time causes the blocking of the initial batch. Pay attention to a warning that appears somewhere near the address bar, permit pop-ups from Codlico, and try the list again.
Very big batches might affect the performance of your browser. Unfortunately, there is no universal limitation, as different computers have different characteristics. Memory capacity, browser plugins, internet speed, and nature of web pages might play an important role here.
To make your work more comfortable, follow these recommendations:
- Start with 10 to 20 web pages.
- Close unnecessary tabs.
- Divide the too-long list into pieces.
- Avoid opening dozens of video pages.
- Complete the loading of one batch before starting another.
- Keep the copy of the initial list before clearing the box.
Having multiple tabs does not mean that it will affect the speed of your internet connection. However, each page will be downloading scripts, images, videos, ads, and other files, which means a lot of data. If they start working simultaneously, the load on the browser and internet connection becomes significantly bigger.
Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari Compatibility
The tool is created for modern browsers, where JavaScript is enabled. The principle is mostly the same in all browsers, although handling multiple-tab permissions is unique to each.
Google Chrome
Chrome may display an icon of a blocked pop-up on the right of the address bar. Allow pop-ups from Codlico and perform the list once more. From now on, all batches should work without problems.
Mozilla Firefox
When Firefox wants to open multiple tabs, it often notifies you about that. Agree with opening those and hit Open once more.
Microsoft Edge
Edge has pop-up options that look much like Chrome’s. If your tabs don’t load, check the address bar for the icon of blocked content and allow the page to open tabs.
Safari
Safari may be more strict than other browsers, especially when using iPhone or iPad. Safari on desktop opens batches more often than on mobile devices.
Mobile Browsers
The mobile browser offers less room on screen and a limited number of tabs. Use smaller chunks; do not close the browser after loading each batch; give each one some time to load.
Use Search Destinations More Effectively
The dropdown menu of search engines is used for setting up where your keyword searches will be conducted. Google and Bing can be used to find general information on websites; YouTube may be used to find tutorials, videos, presentations, and reviews. Other search destinations may offer you more ways to find profiles, posts, and communities.
A list might include:
site migration checklist technical SEO tutorial email campaign landing page examples responsive navigation patterns
You can use the same list of keywords in different search destinations. Copy it before clearing the box, select another destination, and run it again. It will help you compare the results of the same search in different search environments.
Understanding the Open, Load, Copy, and Clear Buttons
Four basic buttons make the process of keyword search easier. Each of them serves its own purpose, helping you to go from a saved list to active tabs without switching to other programs.
Open
Open works on all items entered into the input box. Open mode works on the URL addresses. Keyword mode transforms each item into a search in the chosen platform.
Load
The load function loads a plain-text file. After loading the entries into the box, do some verification of the entries loaded, particularly if the file was sent by another person.
Copy
Copy copies the current list into your clipboard. You may want to copy for backup reasons, sharing the list, or storing the entries elsewhere.
Clear
“Clear” clears the current list so you can perform another task. Remember to copy any needed information first because it is possible that you won’t be able to retrieve the cleared information.
What This Tool Is Not
It is always important to define what the tool is not. The tool opens webpages and performs the search operation on them, but it does not analyze, crawl, extract, or alter the entered URLs in any way.
The tool is not:
- Status code checker for multiple links at once
- Search engine indexer
- URL extractor
- Duplicate links detector
- Link cleaning/formatting tool
- Webpage crawler
- Sitemap analyzer
- Mass URL generator
- Google removal tool
- Backlink analysis system
- Rank tracker
- The tool that clicks links in the opened pages
You may combine the use of the tool with all the above-mentioned services. For instance, export problematic URLs from your checking tool and paste them into this webpage analyzer.
Privacy and Safe Browsing
The bulk URL opener works in your browser and does not require any accounts; however, you still need to ensure safety while browsing normally. Opening a list of many unknown links may complicate identification of the link that resulted in a warning or a malicious download and redirection.
Here are some things to keep in mind before opening a list of links:
- Inspect the domain names carefully.
- Do not click shortened links.
- Eliminate everything that looks suspicious.
- Use a new browser profile for testing purposes.
- Do not disable security features in the browser.
- Avoid entering internal private links on public devices.
- Make sure that copied information contains no passwords.
The tool will save you time; however, it cannot determine how safe each destination is. The person opening the list is expected to inspect the destinations of the links.
Best Practices for Cleaner Results
Some clean-up before clicking Open will eliminate duplicate tabs and dead links and avoid putting your browser through extra strain. One URL or phrase per line is normally most convenient, although commas and spaces are acceptable.
Always include full URLs and get rid of any blank rows and duplicates. Separate the URL list from keyword lists since there won’t be any confusion over which method is used.
If you intend on using the service regularly, name your TXT files appropriately:
client-landing-pages-july.txt staging-routes-release-4.txt competitor-research-sources.txt keyword-cluster-project-management.txt
A master spreadsheet is always helpful. Keep all your links in one place and copy the necessary rows for each operation.
Troubleshooting Common Problems
Problems generally stem from permissions within the browser, incorrect modes, and improper formatting of the list. All of these problems are quick to fix.
No Tabs Open After Clicking Open
This means that your browser blocked the pop-ups. Look at the address bar for the message and add Codlico to your list of allowed sites.
Only One Tab Opens
This could mean that the first tab opened successfully and other tabs were blocked by your browser. Confirm the pop-up permissions for the site and try with a smaller list.
Some Addresses Don’t Work
Check for the absence of a domain name, incompleteness of a protocol, additional signs, spaces in the address, or a broken path. Try to open the unsuccessful addresses separately.
Search queries are interpreted as URLs.
The app might be currently set in the URL mode. Switch the switch to the search button, choose a search engine, and try the list again.
The Requests Open in an Incorrect Platform
Choose the right platform from the Search Engine drop-down list before clicking on Open. Make your search query again.
The Browser Works Very Slowly
Launch a smaller number of requests simultaneously. Close the older tabs, split the list into smaller parts, and wait until the previous part is loaded.
TXT File Results in Incorrect Results
Open this file using the plain text editor and delete all titles, numbers, additional punctuation, descriptions, etc. Leave only a URL or a phrase on one line.
The Same Address Opened Several Times
There must be duplicates in the original list. Get rid of them and try the list again.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a bulk URL opener?
The bulk URL opener is a website that allows opening a number of website addresses from the same list. Instead of copying all the links and opening them separately, you can just insert all of them into one place and open them all at once.
How to open multiple URLs at once?
Insert all the addresses into the input field, leave the switch on the URL mode, and click "Open." You may use a new line, comma, or space to separate different entries, but one address per line is more convenient.
Can it be used as a search opener?
Yes, it can. You should only turn on the keyword mode, choose the destination for the search, and type your keywords into the input field. All of them will be opened as separate pages with search results.
Can I perform a bulk Google search?
Yes, you can. In the keyword mode you need to select Google in the drop-down menu, paste each query separately into different lines, and click "Open."
Is it possible to open the links contained in a TXT file?
Yes, write one URL or keyword on each line in a TXT file, click on the Load button, check the list of loaded links, and then select the right mode to open the list.
Is it possible to open links in several documents in Excel?
Yes, copy the cells that contain the actual addresses of websites, paste them in the URL mode, and click the Open button.
Will it be possible to copy the links or keywords from Google Sheets?
Yes, it is enough to copy the column of links or keywords and paste it into this tool. Each line will be processed separately.
Does it work in Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari?
This Bulk URL Opener works well in modern browsers that have JavaScript enabled. You might need to enable the popup window of this page.
Why are my tabs blocked?
The browser blocks pop-ups as a security feature, which is done in order to ensure that users do not see any additional and potentially dangerous web pages. Check if there is a message in the address bar and enable pop-ups from Codlico.
How many web addresses can I open simultaneously?
This depends on your computer and its specifications, the amount of RAM, the browser, the extensions, and the web pages that you plan to open. 10-20 URLs are a good starting point.
Is this an extension for the browser?
No, this is an online app. There are no files to install. Those who need the functionality of a browser extension might use this one anyway.
Can I search multiple sites?
I can send a list of inquiries to whatever destination is chosen from the dropdown menu. If you want to try different sites, simply use the same list of keywords.
Does the tool remove duplicate URLs?
It parses the list you give it. If you have a duplicate URL, then it might open more than once, and thus you should clean up the duplicates before using this program.
Is it a URL validator, scraper, or indexer?
It is not. This tool does not verify the URL or check the HTTP code or submit web pages to indexes or extract links from them.
What do Load, Copy, and Clear do?
Load loads a list of URLs from a TXT file, Copy copies your currently entered URL list to the clipboard, and Clear clears your current list.
