Paid links. We earn a commission if you buy through links on this page. It never changes our ranking — see how we rank.
Pricing
We do not reprint prices. They change too often for that to be honest, and a number on our page with no date is worse than sending you to the source.
How we rated it
What it is
A desktop crawler that walks your site like a search engine and reports what it finds: broken links, redirect chains, duplicate titles, missing tags, slow pages.
Who it is for
Anyone doing technical SEO on a site larger than a handful of pages.
Where it is strongest
A full technical audit. Nothing else gives you the complete picture of a site's structure this quickly, and the free tier covers small sites entirely.
Where it falls short
It runs on your machine, so a large site needs memory and patience. The interface is dense and unwelcoming. And it tells you what is wrong, not what matters — the prioritising is yours.
Our verdict
Recommended, and the free tier is genuinely useful for a small site. It is a diagnostic tool: expect a list of problems, not a plan.
Editorial assessment. We earn a commission on some links; it does not change the ranking.
