Screaming Frog.
The SEO Spider desktop crawler checks links, redirects, metadata, and other technical SEO issues across your website.
THE BASICS
What it offers
Screaming Frog’s SEO Spider crawls websites from a Windows, macOS, or Linux computer. It helps identify broken links, redirect problems, and missing or duplicate metadata. This profile covers the software; agency services are a separate offering. [1]
Link checks
Find broken links and inspect redirect chains.
Metadata audits
Review page titles, descriptions, and duplicate elements.
Advanced crawling
Paid features include JavaScript rendering and integrations.
What stands out
- A free crawl of up to 500 URLs lets you try the core workflow.
- Desktop apps are available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
What to weigh up
- Crawls cannot be saved with the free version.
- Paid licences are assigned per user; larger teams need more licences.
ATN’s observations from published information. Performance, support quality, and ease of use have not been independently tested.

Content & affiliate policies
Use on adult-business websites
The software EULA was checked, but an explicit adult-business eligibility statement was not verified. Confirm your intended use with the provider if you need contractual assurance. Agency-service acceptance should be checked separately. [4]
Licence & access
A paid licence is for one designated user, with one instance running at a time under the EULA. It cannot be shared as a team licence. [4]
Affiliate program
Screaming Frog’s current SEO Spider FAQ says it does not have an affiliate program for the software. ATN uses direct links with no affiliate tracking. [3]
