Website Crawler

Website Crawler is a SaaS platform designed for real-time crawling, analysis, and data extraction from websites, with a focus on identifying technical issues that are difficult to detect manually. It provides an online interface for auditing and monitoring websites, making it suitable for users seeking to optimize site performance, search presence, and technical health.

The platform offers visual analysis through real-time pie charts, covering metrics such as loading times, internal and external links, HTTP status codes, and content breakdowns. Users can compare current and historical analysis with the crawl history utility, which logs all crawl jobs and their timestamps. Website Crawler generates detailed technical reports that help users address issues like internal redirects, dead or unused CSS/JavaScript, duplicate content, broken links, canonical link problems, missing heading tags, duplicate titles and meta tags, and missing image alt tags. It also provides features for identifying thin content, generating XML sitemaps with customizable options, and auditing security headers and SSL certificate status, including email alerts for impending certificate expiry.

Data extraction is a core feature, allowing users to configure custom tag settings using CSS selectors or XPath to scrape specific information from web pages. Extracted data can be downloaded in CSV, JSON, Markdown, PDF, or spreadsheet formats, and the platform can produce LLM-ready JSON structured data. An API is available for retrieving data in JSON format for integration with other software projects. Users can adjust crawl behavior, such as crawler type, URLs processed per minute, and delays, as well as track usage credits and manage crawl history. The platform supports crawling JavaScript-heavy single-page applications by executing JavaScript to capture dynamic content.

Website Crawler includes options to schedule automated crawls and send email notifications upon completion. It also allows users to add branding to PDF reports, configure email alerts, and manage blacklist or whitelist directives. The service offers a free plan supporting up to 10 URLs without requiring a credit card, with paid plans scaling up to 500,000 pages. Users can upgrade or cancel at any time, and all features are managed through an online dashboard.
