Screaming Frog

Screaming Frog is a crawler tool that allows you to analyze websites for SEO errors.

The goal of Screaming Frog is to have an SEO-friendly site with as few returning errors as possible. Once installed locally on your device, all you have to do is enter the URL of a site, and the crawler reviews the countless data that the SEO or consultant can then go over in a summary table.

Screaming Frog provides the user with valuable information on the different pages of a website such as, the number of title or meta description tags, the editorial content of each of them, the number of words, the response codes (301, 404, 500, etc.), the name of the URLs and the weight of the images.

Broken links hurt your website in many ways. They tamper with your SEO rankings and the user experience on your site. With Screaming Frog, it’s easy to find broken links. Crawl your website instantly, find broken links (404s) and server errors, and bulk export the errors and source URLs to troubleshoot or send to a developer.

Migrating your site? Audit your redirects with Screaming Frog. You can track and find temporary and permanent redirects, identify redirect chains and loops, or upload a list of URLs to audit in a site migration. This allows you to improve your site URLs’ health and keep everything optimal.

Screaming Frog allows you to analyze page titles and meta descriptions. All you need to do is simply crawl your site. It will automatically identify those that are too long, short, missing, or duplicated across your site.

Don’t let duplicate content weigh down your site. Screaming Frog crawls also reveal duplicate URLs with an md5 algorithmic check, partially duplicated elements such as page titles, descriptions, or headings, and find low-content pages. This allows you to keep your pages from competing against each other.

Need to extract website date? Screaming Frog allows you to use CSS Path, XPath, and regex languages to extract data from HTML. You can also include meta tags, additional headings, prices, SKUs, and more!

Easily connect Screaming Frog with Google Analytics, Search Console, and PageSpeed Insights APIs. By doing so, you can easily fetch user and performance data for all URLs in a crawl for greater insight.
