Screaming Frog SEO Spider is a desktop-based website crawler and technical SEO auditing tool used by SEO professionals, digital marketers, and webmasters to analyse websites for performance and compliance issues. It crawls both small and large sites to detect broken links, duplicate content, missing meta descriptions, redirect chains, and other on-page SEO problems. The tool integrates with Google Analytics and Google Search Console, renders JavaScript-heavy sites using a built-in Chromium engine, and can generate XML sitemaps and structured data validation reports. Power users employ it for custom data extraction via XPath and CSS selectors, site architecture visualisation, and scheduled automated reporting. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
