Overall Satisfaction with Screaming Frog SEO Spider

The main use of this software is in tracking down broken links within a given website. Screaming Frog is able to crawl an entire site based on the home page, then look at external links on each page and find out where they are no longer working - returning a specific HTTP head error (such as 404). The crawl results can be saved, so it's easy to return to a previous project. The software also offers a lot of SEO insight including anchor texts, indexability, meta titles, H1 and H2 usage, word count, file size and more.
  • Scans all pages on a website.
  • Quickly extracts valuable insight about each page.
  • Clearly presents actionable SEO data.
  • Interface layout is dense and a little intimidating to a new user.
  • Slight learning curve to make the most of all the features.
  • Eliminate broken, outbound links and saved time doing manual checks.
  • Improved page loading times by identifying bottlenecks.
  • Identify spelling mistakes in bulk, improving readability.
  • Identify easy SEO mistakes like missing META description.
