Screaming Frog: How to Crawl Your Site Like a Pro
Screaming Frog is a powerful SEO tool that lets you crawl your website just like search engines do. To start, enter your URL and hit "Start" to analyze all pages, links, images, scripts, and more. Use filters to find broken links (404 errors), redirect chains, missing meta tags, duplicate content, or large image files. Switch to "Page Titles" and "Meta Descriptions" tabs to optimize on-page SEO. Use the “Response Codes” tab to identify server errors or non-indexable pages. For larger sites, integrate Google Analytics and Search Console for deeper insights. Export reports for audits or content planning. Mastering Screaming Frog helps you spot technical SEO issues quickly—keeping your site healthy, fast, and fully optimized for search engines.
