What is SEO Spider?
The Screaming Frog SEO Spider is a small desktop program which spiders websites' links, images, CSS, script and apps. It also fetches key onsite page elements for SEO, presents them in tabs by type and allows you to filter for common SEO issues, or slice & dice the data how you see fit by exporting/ importing into Excel. You can view, analyse and filter the information as it's gathered and updated continuously in the program's user interface.

Essential for any SEO and very cheap too!
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates SEO Spider from other similar products?
It's the cheapest product available with regular updates and a huge range of auditing features. It doesn't have as many content quality features as crawlers like Deepcrawl, but is a fraction of the price and has most auditing tools required for standard SEO audits.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The fact that it's such a flexible crawler that can grab just about all the information I need about a website.
What do you dislike most about this product?
I find the Data Studio integrations tricky. It also misses some of the bells and whistles of something like Deepcrawl that will add in content evaluations and a fancy dashboard etc. But is a fraction of the price.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
If you're doing SEO, then you should definitely get it. It's so cheap anyway!
Pros
- Continually Improving Product
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
- Enables Productivity
