    The tool is awesome!! Yes, it blows Xenu away. However, the downfall…sorry… but there are no documentation that explains what each of the columns mean. For example, what does Level mean in the Internal & External tabs?

      Hey SEOnut,

      Thanks for the kind comments. Apologies regarding the lack of documentation, we are working on a better user guide as we speak.

      With regards to your query, level means – depth of the page from the homepage or start page you crawl from (number of links or ‘clicks’ away from the start page).

      Hope this helps.

      Thanks,

      Dan

      I agree with Dan. The tool looks impressive. But what to do with the results, ie, what do they mean and what action do they call for? For example, under the External tab, I show the following types of results:

      blank, found, FOUND, moved, moved permanently, Not Found, OK, See Other

      There is no explanation that I can find as to what these mean and what action they call for if any.

    Congratulations on a good job, Dan. And I like the video too. We should have a few beers if you ever come to Berlin.

      Thanks for stopping by Tilman. Really appreciate the kind comments.

      Xenu is legendary and a real inspiration for us.

      A beer would be good, the same goes if you’re ever in London! You can always reach me at dan@screamingfrog.co.uk.

    Not sure I got this. What’s the depth? Does it scrape until all links on a domain are done or just 1st and 2nd level as in page and links on it.

    Thanks.

      Hi :-)

      The SEO spider crawls all links on the domain you input, until it cannot find anymore.

      But if you wanted to just crawl at a depth of 1 or 2, you can configure that within the spider as well.

      Cheers.

    Wow guys, this is just amazing, I just got off the phone with you. I love the fact that there is a txt list mode, so I can crawl backlinks as well as my On Page elements.

    Just great

    LOVE this tool! I work as analyst/optimizer/strategist for a slash and burn “link renter”. Its really nice to have a tool that provides me with the information that usually takes several separate tools/steps. Worked out it saves me around 30mins on a medium site audit.

    Off to pitch the boss!

    I like to check the broken link for my website http://www.tesfa.com but it ask to download the file, is there any way I can check online webbase?

      You have to download and install the SEO spider to be able to crawl your website.

    Used the tool to check on my website (ca. 500 URL’s).
    Halfway my website stopped working, and my hosting provider called me there is a DDOS attack on my server from my own IP.

    What I could understand is that the tool did not reply to my server, so my server kept waiting for 5 secs times the 400 pages it already looked trough. Total blackout for the complete server! (Or white actually..)

    For me a major issue…

    Love this tool. Used the free version for a long time, but decided to purchase licence. Should have done this a year ago!
    Would be great if you could open up an affiliate program as I’m always promoting you and could have made a few ££ by now.
    Nice one.

    a Great tool for web development and SEO companies just about to buy the license to have the freedom of unlimited analysis.
    Thank you guys for making this. I can do a lot of checks on the current team that manages to analyse this.
