Being a designer, we need some useful tools to speed up, collaborate our web development projects. There are 100 of extensions for designers which increase productivity. Some of them are already in use or we have heard about them. Here, I have created a list with the most useful extensions.WhatFont:
We know how to find the font used in the developer tools in chrome browser. But there is an easier and faster way to figure out that with WhatFont. It helps us to find the font details only on hover.
Window Resizer:
Window Resizer is very useful to check our site in different viewport shortly. It is very familiar for front-end developers. Simply open the extension and either click the preset viewports or enter in something custom.

User-Agent Switcher can quickly and easily change your Chrome browser’s user-agent. There are 26 popular user-agent strings to choose from!

It is used to know easily which technology is used in the site. We have to click on the icon at the Chrome bar and a pop up will be opened with different technologies used like Web Server, Content Delivery Network, Content Management System, JavaScript Libraries and other functions.
JavaScript and CSS Code Beautifier:
When we open a minified JQuery or Bootstrap document, it is hard to read them. We can now add intending, necessary space and line breaks in such JavaScript and CSS documents, including minified, with just a click of a button (beautify Now!)Before beautify

ColorZilla:
ColorZilla helps designers to see the exact colour of the website we use as a reference. It enables to select an eye-dropper tool that will extract the colour from any web page and save it to the ColorZilla clipboard.
With it, we can quickly develop colour palettes for later use and we also create gradient colours for web pages.

It is a quick screenshot tool that enables us to capture the entire or part of any page and either upload it or download it or send it to a third party destination. We can share on social media or printed.
If we want to highlight any part of the screenshot we can also do that with text, colour shapes etc.
Page Ruler:
From this, we get an accurate & pixel-perfect measurement of any web page element on our screen. Simply drag the ruler across any section of a website, and inspect the selected element’s height, width, and position.
You can even adjust the ruler’s colour to ensure there’s enough contrast depending on the website’s background!
Clear Cache:
It is a fast and simple tool that enables us to clear cookies and cache of the page we’re looking at.
For web designers who are making multiple edits and want to view them in real-time, this is an excellent tool that will eliminate much of the frustration of looking at old data.Checkbot: SEO, Web Speed & Security Tester:
It is an award-winning site-auditor extension that allows us to check over 250 URLs per site simultaneously to check SEO/Web Speed/Security issues like broken links,

Using the Checkbot extension will help us to optimize perfectly and secure websites which would slay Google SERP rankings.
