Why Use a Website Crawler?
A Website Crawler (or spider) simulates how search engine bots like Googlebot explore your site. By crawling your own site, you can uncover hidden technical issues that might be hurting your rankings before Google finds them. It is the foundation of any technical SEO audit.
What Does This Tool Analyze?
- Broken Links (404s): Identifies links that lead to non-existent pages, which frustrate users and waste crawl budget.
- Redirect Chains (301s): Finds chains of redirects that slow down page loading and dilute link equity.
- Site Structure: Visualizes the depth of your pages. Important pages should be within 3 clicks of the homepage.
- Metadata: Checks if titles and descriptions are missing or duplicated across pages.
Understanding Crawl Budget
Search engines have limited resources. "Crawl Budget" refers to the number of pages a bot will crawl on your site during a given period. If your site has thousands of low-quality pages, duplicate content, or infinite loops, you waste this budget. Our tool helps you identify these "crawl traps" so you can block them via robots.txt.
How to Fix Common Issues
404 Errors: Update the internal link to point to a live page, or 301 redirect the broken URL to a relevant alternative.
Slow Response Times: If the crawler reports slow load times, consider upgrading your hosting, enabling caching, or using a CDN.
Orphan Pages: These are pages with no internal links pointing to them. The crawler won't find them unless they are in your sitemap. Ensure every important page is linked from somewhere.
