What is Screaming Frog?

Screaming Frog is a desktop-based website crawler used by SEO professionals to analyse and audit websites. It crawls every URL on a site and returns data on page titles, meta descriptions, headings, response codes, redirect chains, canonical tags, image alt text, and much more — all in a single export. For SMBs and agencies doing SEO, Screaming Frog is an indispensable audit tool. It quickly surfaces technical issues across large sites that would take hours to find manually: broken links, missing meta tags, duplicate content, and pages blocked from indexing. The free version crawls up to 500 URLs; the paid licence (around £149/year) removes that limit.
