About Screaming Frog

Screaming Frog SEO Spider is a desktop application that crawls websites the way a search engine would, making it a staple tool for technical SEO audits. Installed on Windows, macOS, or Linux, it fetches URLs and reports on issues like broken links, redirect chains, duplicate content, missing or duplicate metadata, response codes, and page titles. It can extract data with custom XPath, generate XML sitemaps, analyze page depth, and integrate with Google Analytics, Search Console, and PageSpeed Insights for richer audits. A free version handles smaller sites, while a paid license unlocks unlimited crawling and advanced features. Because it gives granular, exportable data on a site's structure and on-page elements, Screaming Frog is widely used by technical SEOs and agencies for diagnosing problems that browser-based tools can miss.
