What differentiates Screaming Frog SEO Spider from other similar products?

Screaming Frog largely does what other crawlers can, but does it in a simple, accessible fashion. There are other features available in SEO Spider like the ability to crawl for looking for specific information on a page, or creating a tree map of a websites architecture, however its best feature is how throughly, quickly and easily it crawls and website.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It's not a fancy feature, but I love that there's a very simple output from any crawl that indicates potential issues. The user can click the issue and all the affected URLs are shown. It just gives a quick indication of a website's general SEO health.

What do you dislike most about this product?

it would be useful if there was an online crawling option. Running screaming frog on a big website can really slow my laptop while its running and memory often runs out.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I would try the free version, its good enough for a small website and will give a good idea of what you could get by paying for a subscription in future.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
