Why I Built the “Web Tools” Category (and what I learned)

Hey everyone,

Over the last few months, while building my AllInOneTools site, I kept noticing the same thing again and again…

Every time I needed something small — like checking a website’s IP, SSL, DNS, or speed — I had to open 3–4 different tools.

Most of them:

• asked for signup

• were slow

• or just overloaded with features I didn’t need

So I ended up wasting more time finding tools than actually solving the problem.

That’s when I decided to build a simple “Web Tools” category — just focused on quick, no-login utilities like IP lookup, DNS check, SSL check, speed test, etc.

The goal was really simple:
👉 open → do the task → close

No friction. No learning curve. No signup.

Honestly, this wasn’t some big startup idea.
It came from pure frustration + my own daily workflow.

And interestingly… once I launched it, I realized:

People don’t want “more features”
They just want things to work fast and simply.

Still early, but I’m seeing more repeat usage from these small tools than I expected.

Curious to know —
Do you guys still use separate tools for these things, or prefer one simple place for everything?
