Overall Satisfaction with Screaming Frog SEO Spider

Screaming Frog SEO Spider allows me to easily review and scan the Gflenv.com website (as well as other company websites), for all of its technical elements. This allows me to review it from an SEO perspective and to find any potential technical holes in the website, that need to be fixed.

Pros

  • Review Technical Elements of a Website
  • Review number of URLs on a website.
  • Review Pictures of a website.

Cons

  • No Training is provided w/ download of tool.
  • Not everyone likes the excel like format.
  • The number of tabs on the top can be a bit overwhelming for first time users.
  • Positive -> It's helped find broken pages on the website.
  • Positive -> It has helped us find technical optimizational elements, for improvement.
  • Positive -> It has helped us find, image optimization opportunities.
Please note that, while Screaming Frog is a great tool for scanning the website all it is, is a tool that scans the website. For deeper analysis or for keyword analysis, please take a look at tools like Semrush and Ahrefs for your medium size business, or Conductor for a large-scale business.

Screaming Frog SEO Spider is a tool that is well suited, for scanning websites and for providing analysis of it. However, it is limited, to 100 URLs on the free version and it will not do the job or fix anything for you. It's simply a tool that helps you analyze data, you have to put the effort in to fix things.

    When I used screaming Frog to crawl www.genscript.com, I got some non-indexable pages because they are canonicalised, that just confused me.
