It saves time when I want to analyze the structure of a site, or put together a content inventory for a site, where I can capture how effective a site might be towards meeting the informational or situation needs of the audience of that site. I usually buy a new edition of Screaming Frog on my birthday every year, and it is one of the best birthday presents I could get myself.\n\nBill Slawski\n\nDirector, Go Fish Digital\n\n![](https:\/\/www.screamingfrog.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/bill-slawski.jpg)\n\n### About The Tool\nThe **Screaming Frog** SEO Spider is an SEO audit tool trusted by thousands of professional SEOs, agencies and brands worldwide to perform technical SEO audits.\n\nIt can help identify over [300 SEO issues](https:\/\/www.screamingfrog.co.uk\/seo-spider\/issues\/), warnings and opportunities to improve website health and user experience.\n\nAn in-app explanation of each issue and potential actions is provided. Each issue has a ‘type’ and an estimated ‘priority’ based upon the potential impact.\n\nThe SEO Spider allows you to export key onsite SEO elements (URL, page title, meta description, headings etc) to a spread sheet, so it can easily be used as a base for SEO recommendations. Check our out demo video above.\n\n### Crawl 500 URLs For Free\nThe ‘lite’ version of the tool is free to download and use – without any sign up or email capture.\n\nThe free version is restricted to crawling up to 500 URLs in a single crawl. The crawl configuration, saving of crawls, and advanced features such as JavaScript rendering, custom extraction, and API integrations are also restricted.\n\nFor just £199 per year you can purchase a licence, which removes the 500 URL crawl limit, allows you to save crawls, and opens up the spider’s configuration options and advanced features.\n\nAlternatively hit the ‘buy a licence’ button in the SEO Spider to buy a licence after trialing the software.\n\n### FAQ & User Guide\nThe SEO Spider crawls sites like Googlebot discovering hyperlinks in the HTML using a breadth-first algorithm. It uses a configurable hybrid storage engine, able to save data to disk to crawl large websites. By default it will crawl the raw HTML of a site, but can render web pages using headless Chromium to discover content and links.\n\nFor more tips on how to use the **Screaming Frog** SEO crawler –\n\n- Read our quick-fire [getting started](https:\/\/www.screamingfrog.co.uk\/seo-spider\/tutorials\/quick-start-guide\/) guide and view our [SEO issues](https:\/\/www.screamingfrog.co.uk\/seo-spider\/issues\/) library.\n- Learn about our [recommended hardware](https:\/\/www.screamingfrog.co.uk\/seo-spider\/faq\/#what-hardware-is-recommended) and browse the [user guide](https:\/\/www.screamingfrog.co.uk\/seo-spider\/user-guide\/), [tutorials](https:\/\/www.screamingfrog.co.uk\/seo-spider\/tutorials\/) and [FAQ](https:\/\/www.screamingfrog.co.uk\/seo-spider\/faq\/).\n- Check out our [tutorials](https:\/\/www.screamingfrog.co.uk\/seo-spider\/tutorials\/), including how to use the SEO Spider as a [broken link checker](https:\/\/www.screamingfrog.co.uk\/seo-spider\/tutorials\/broken-link-checker\/), [duplicate content checker](https:\/\/www.screamingfrog.co.uk\/seo-spider\/tutorials\/how-to-check-for-duplicate-content\/), [website spelling & grammar checker](https:\/\/www.screamingfrog.co.uk\/seo-spider\/tutorials\/spelling-grammar-checker\/), [generating XML Sitemaps](https:\/\/www.screamingfrog.co.uk\/seo-spider\/tutorials\/xml-sitemap-generator\/), [crawling JavaScript](https:\/\/www.screamingfrog.co.uk\/seo-spider\/tutorials\/crawl-javascript-seo\/), [robots.txt testing](https:\/\/www.screamingfrog.co.uk\/seo-spider\/tutorials\/robots-txt-tester\/), [web scraping](https:\/\/www.screamingfrog.co.uk\/seo-spider\/tutorials\/web-scraping\/), [crawl comparison](https:\/\/www.screamingfrog.co.uk\/seo-spider\/tutorials\/how-to-compare-crawls\/) and [crawl visualisations](https:\/\/www.screamingfrog.co.uk\/seo-spider\/tutorials\/site-architecture-crawl-visualisations\/).\n- Level up your SEO game and read our [Learn SEO](https:\/\/www.screamingfrog.co.uk\/learn-seo\/) section.\n### Updates\nKeep updated with future releases by signing up to our mailing list below, or following us across our various socials.\n\n### Support & Feedback\nIf you have any technical problems, feedback or feature requests for the SEO Spider, then please just contact us via [our support](https:\/\/www.screamingfrog.co.uk\/seo-spider\/support\/).

It saves time when I want to analyze the structure of a site, or put together a content inventory for a site, where I can capture how effective a site might be towards meeting the informational or situation needs of the audience of that site. I usually buy a new edition of Screaming Frog on my birthday every year, and it is one of the best birthday presents I could get myself. Bill Slawski Director, Go Fish Digital ![](https://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/bill-slawski.jpg) ### About The Tool The Screaming Frog SEO Spider is an SEO audit tool trusted by thousands of professional SEOs, agencies and brands worldwide to perform technical SEO audits. It can help identify over [300 SEO issues](https://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/seo-spider/issues/), warnings and opportunities to improve website health and user experience. An in-app explanation of each issue and potential actions is provided. Each issue has a ‘type’ and an estimated ‘priority’ based upon the potential impact. The SEO Spider allows you to export key onsite SEO elements (URL, page title, meta description, headings etc) to a spread sheet, so it can easily be used as a base for SEO recommendations. Check our out demo video above. ### Crawl 500 URLs For Free The ‘lite’ version of the tool is free to download and use – without any sign up or email capture. The free version is restricted to crawling up to 500 URLs in a single crawl. The crawl configuration, saving of crawls, and advanced features such as JavaScript rendering, custom extraction, and API integrations are also restricted. For just £199 per year you can purchase a licence, which removes the 500 URL crawl limit, allows you to save crawls, and opens up the spider’s configuration options and advanced features.

It saves time when I want to analyze the structure of a site, or put together a content inventory for a site, where I can capture how effective a site might be towards meeting the informational or situation needs of the audience of that site. I usually buy a new edition of Screaming Frog on my birthday every year, and it is one of the best birthday presents I could get myself. Bill Slawski Director, Go Fish Digital ![](https://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/bill-slawski.jpg) ### About The Tool The Screaming Frog SEO Spider is an SEO audit tool trusted by thousands of professional SEOs, agencies and brands worldwide to perform technical SEO audits. It can help identify over [300 SEO issues](https://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/seo-spider/issues/), warnings and opportunities to improve website health and user experience. An in-app explanation of each issue and potential actions is provided. Each issue has a ‘type’ and an estimated ‘priority’ based upon the potential impact. The SEO Spider allows you to export key onsite SEO elements (URL, page title, meta description, headings etc) to a spread sheet, so it can easily be used as a base for SEO recommendations. Check our out demo video above. ### Crawl 500 URLs For Free The ‘lite’ version of the tool is free to download and use – without any sign up or email capture. The free version is restricted to crawling up to 500 URLs in a single crawl. The crawl configuration, saving of crawls, and advanced features such as JavaScript rendering, custom extraction, and API integrations are also restricted. For just £199 per year you can purchase a licence, which removes the 500 URL crawl limit, allows you to save crawls, and opens up the spider’s configuration options and advanced features. Alternatively hit the ‘buy a licence’ button in the SEO Spider to buy a licence after trialing the software. ### FAQ & User Guide The SEO Spider crawls sites like Googlebot discovering hyperlinks in the HTML using a breadth-first algorithm. It uses a configurable hybrid storage engine, able to save data to disk to crawl large websites. By default it will crawl the raw HTML of a site, but can render web pages using headless Chromium to discover content and links.
