Overall Satisfaction with Screaming Frog SEO Spider
We use Screaming Frog to crawl our website for Technical SEO errors. It allows us to check our site's health on a large scale. Instead of having to check each page manually, we're able to do it all at once. Only our SEO team uses it currently, but we are often exporting the results of the crawl and sharing it with our Dev team for fixes that need to be made.
- Find Broken Links.
- Crawl Site and Analyze Meta Data.
- Finding redirect chains and diagnosing technical errors.
- Sitemap cleanup/generation.
- UX/UI Improvements -- It's pretty ugly.
- Crawl Map -- It's a new feature and is improving, but it's still not amazing.
- We've been able to solve severe technical issues.
- Screaming Frog is quick and easy to use.
- The product is extremely affordable.
Even though Screaming Frog is the industry standard, that doesn't mean that it's without its flaws. The crawl visualization is sub-par compared to Sitebulb, and the UX/UI looks like it's from the 90s and hasn't been updated since then. Tools like DeepCrawl and Sitebulb are better looking visually, and provide a cleaner report if you need to present to your executive team.
