![]() The parser has been updated so it’s less strict about the validity of HTML mark-up.‘Response time’ of URLs has also been moved into the internal tab as well (which used to just be in the ‘Response Codes’ tab, thanks to RaphSEO for that one). This can be helpful for tracking down new, old, or pages within a certain date range. You can now view the ‘Last-Modified’ header response within a column in the ‘Internal’ tab.We have also performed other updates in the version 3.0 of the Screaming Frog SEO Spider, which include the following – It’s also rather colourful in ‘tree view’. ![]() ![]() This will then adhere to the scaling settings a user has, which can be useful for some newer systems with very high resolutions. There’s a new ‘user interface’ configuration for Windows only, that allows users to enable ‘Windows look and feel’. Thanks to the awesome Aleyda for this suggestion. ![]() We plan on making the exporting function entirely customisable, but for now bulk exporting has been improved so you can export all inlinks (or ‘source’ links) to the custom filter and directives, such as ‘noindex’ or ‘canonicalised’ pages if you wish to analyse crawl efficiency for example. Hopefully these additional options will be useful and help save time, particularly when you don’t want to save a file first to upload. To help save time, you can now paste URLs directly into the SEO Spider in ‘list’ mode, or enter URLs manually (into a window) and upload a file like normal. Plus you now also have greater control over the lastmod, priority and change frequency. You can choose whether to include ‘noindex’, canonicalised, paginated or PDFs in the sitemap for example. There’s now also plenty more options when generating an XML sitemap. You can also right-click and ‘remove’ any images or URLs you don’t want to include obviously too! The ‘IMG Inlinks’ is also very useful when viewing images with missing alt text, as you may wish to ignore social profiles without them etc. This is a nice easy way to exclude logos or social media icons, which are often linked to sitewide for example. To help with this, we have introduced a new column in the ‘images’ tab which shows how many times an image is referenced (IMG Inlinks). Typically you don’t want to include images like logos in an image sitemap, so you can also choose to only include images with a certain number of source attribute references. You can now add images to your XML sitemap or create an image sitemap file.Īs shown in the screenshot above, you now have the ability to include images which appear under the ‘internal’ tab from a normal crawl, or images which sit on a CDN (and appear under the ‘external’ tab). 3) Image Sitemaps & Updated XML Sitemap Features Please note, this report will only pick up on items we crawl, rather than everything rendered in a browser. Here’s a quick example of how a report might look (with insecure images in this case) – This report will identify any secure pages, which link out to insecure content, such as internal HTTP links, images, JS, CSS, external CDN’s, social profiles etc. So if you’re working on HTTP to HTTPS migrations, this should be particularly useful. It’s very easy to miss some insecure content, which often only get picked up on go live in a browser. As an extension to this, there’s also a new ‘insecure content’ report which will show any HTTPS URLs which have insecure elements on them. We have introduced a ‘protocol’ tab, to allow you to easily filter and analyse by secure and non secure URLs at a glance (as well as other protocols potentially in the future). This has been requested as a feature for quite sometime, so thanks to all for their feedback. The SEO Spider doesn’t crawl this way natively, so switching to ‘tree view’ from ‘list view’ will take a little time to build, & you may see a progress bar on larger crawls for instance. This additional view will hopefully help provide an alternative perspective when analysing a website’s architecture. You can now switch from the usual ‘list view’ of a crawl, to a more traditional directory ‘tree view’ format, while still mantaining the granular detail of each URL crawled you see in the standard list view. The new features in version 3.0 of the tool include the following – 1) Tree View This update includes a new way of analysing a crawl, additional sitemap features and insecure content reporting, which will help with all those HTTPS migrations! As always thanks to everyone for their continued support, feedback and suggestions for the tool. I’m delighted to announce version 3.0 of the Screaming Frog SEO Spider, named internally as ‘walkies’.
