Pagination: Finds pagination loops and unlinked pagination URLs.Link Score: Assigns a link score to all internal URLs.Here is the additional data surfaced by the post crawl analysis: You’ll find the button to the right of the “Start” and “Clear” buttons, the below is the display you will see when the analysis is complete. This will provide even more data on your crawl. Post Crawl Analysis and Link ScoreĪfter the crawl is done you can click a button to perform a post crawl analysis. Canonical and Pagination now have their own tabs, and don’t overlook the Canonical inlinks bulk reports, I’m sure I will be using those. The Directives tab is still there but now focused on the meta robots tag. You used to be able to find Canonical and Pagination tag data under the Directives tab. For example the status field could be set to “Canonicalised” (Screaming Frog is a British company, hence the “s” instead of “z”) indicating that the page is not indexable because there is a pointer to a “canonical” (or representative) page of a group of pages.įorce-Directed Crawl Graph in Purple More Emphasis on Canonical and Pagination Data The first field is set by the crawl to either “Indexable” or “Non-Indexable”, the second field will tell you why Screaming Frog considers the page Non-Indexable. In most of the tabs you’ll find two new fields, Indexability and Indexability Status. In version 10 Screaming Frog has addressed this shortcoming. Other crawlers such as Deep Crawl and OnCrawl do this, why not Screaming Frog? If only Screaming Frog understood the concept of indexability and showed me only duplicate titles that have not been addressed. It’s frustrating to see a list of pages with duplicate titles only to investigate and find out they have been addressed with the canonical tag. The titles tab lists the URLs and the title tags found on the page which then can be filtered for potential SEO issues such as duplicate title tags. When you crawl a website with Screaming Frog, it organizes the results into tabs that align with on page elements important for SEO. Let me illustrate what I mean by this with an example. One of my biggest beefs with Screaming Frog has been that it didn’t have the concept of indexability. Screaming Frog just released version 10, a major enhancement that just may make it my new favorite toy. If you are a SEO you know of Screaming Frog, a tool used to analysis a website by crawling each page on the site as a search spider would.
