HOW SEO SPIDER WORKS

Crawl your website precisely, mapping out internal architecture and finding broken links. Our free online crawler replicates desktop spidering logic dynamically in your browser.

1

ENTER ENTRY POINT

Provide a starting URL. The spider will fetch this page and identify all outgoing and internal links to map your site architecture securely.

2

AUTOMATIC CRAWLING

The engine recursively traverses discovered internal pages, making smart requests to check HTTP status codes for thousands of endpoints.

3

EXPORT RESULTS

Export comprehensive CSV reports of working URLs and broken links. Use these logs to patch 404s and improve your crawl budget instantly.

PROFESSIONAL LINK AUDITING

Identify 404 broken links, missing images, and dead redirects before search engines index them. Protect your domain authority by maintaining a clean, error-free internal linking structure.

DETECT 404 ERRORS

Automatically isolate dead links pointing to external sites or broken internal paths, allowing you to quickly patch leaks in link equity.

RESPECTS CRAWL LIMITS

Our engine utilizes intelligent throttling and batch queuing to crawl sites without overwhelming the target server, maintaining server health.

INTERNAL VS EXTERNAL

Automatically categorizes discovered endpoints into internal site architecture or external outlinks, making reporting extremely clear.

SPIDER TOOL FAQS

Learn the best techniques to monitor your server paths, check outlinks, and improve site hygiene.

Q.

How deep does the crawler go?

The spider traverses all discovered internal paths recursively until all accessible links from your entry point have been cataloged and tested.

Q.

Does this act as a Screaming Frog alternative?

Yes, for core crawling functionalities! It provides free, instant auditing directly in your browser without requiring hefty software downloads or Java runtimes.

Q.

Can it export broken links?

Absolutely. You can export the full crawl result as a standard CSV format which clearly lists out the URL, Status Code, and the parent page where it was found.

Q.

Will it slow down my website server?

No. We've limited concurrent requests to ensure the bot behaves politely, mirroring light organic traffic without causing performance degradation on standard hosting.
