What is Screaming Frog SEO Spider and what is it used for?
Screaming Frog SEO Spider is an application that crawls a website the way a search engine would and lists the technical SEO problems it finds, such as broken links, redirects, and duplicate or missing titles and descriptions. SEO professionals use it to audit sites before fixing indexing.
The program walks the site's URLs and collects, for each page, the HTTP response code, title, meta description, headings, and internal and external links. Results appear in filterable tables and can be exported to spreadsheets so the team can prioritize fixes.
Screaming Frog SEO Spider is installed by the user and runs on their own computer. The free version crawls up to 500 URLs at a time, and the paid licence removes that limit. It can also crawl with JavaScript rendered, extract specific data from pages, and combine the crawl with Google Analytics and Search Console data.
