Screaming Frog SEO Spider

⚡ Hands-on technical crawler

Use Screaming Frog when you need to see what is actually broken, duplicated, redirected, blocked, or missing on a website—not just read a health score.

Why this fits

Inspect the site a crawler can really see.

Screaming Frog SEO Spider crawls a site locally to expose links, redirects, metadata, duplicate content, crawlability, and technical defects. It turns an SEO suspicion into an actionable list of URLs and fixes.

The trade-off

Technical depth without a managed platform.

What you gain
  • Crawl up to 500 URLs free, then unlock deeper crawling with an annual licence.
What you sacrifice
  • It is not a content planner, link database, or AI-search monitor.
Pricing & upgrade decision

Pay only when the workflow changes.

The free plan is for personal use. Compare the operational trigger—not only the keyword limit.
