Industry leading Crawler with customizations
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Screaming Frog SEO Spider from other similar products?
Screaming frog stands apart thanks to its desktop-based architecture that delivers lightning-fast crawls at any scale - without throttling or cloud-queue delays. Its real power lies in granular control, you can apply regex filters, configure custom XPath and CSS extractions, and seamlessly integrate API metrics directly into the crawl.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The unmatched customization of crawl configurations: from regex-based URL filters and custom XPath/CSS extractions to API metric integrations, I can tailor every audit to my exact needs without wrangling data in spreadsheets afterward.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Its desktop dependency means large crawls can tie my workstation resources, there's no native cloud-based option for offloading heavy jobs, so I sometimes hit local memory limiits on sites with hundreds of thousands of URLs.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Be prepared to invest time upfront in learning its advanced settings - dive into the documentation on custom extractions and rendering.
