Scary Spider SEODownload

Free & open source

The desktop crawler that isn't afraid to bite bad pages.

Point Scary Spider SEO at a URL, crawl the whole site, and get a searchable, sortable table of every page and resource — with SEO and accessibility issues flagged inline, not buried in a report.

  • Issue detection
  • JS rendering
  • Accessibility audits

Everything you need, nothing buried in a PDF.

Every issue shows up inline, right where the page lives — not in a separate report you have to cross-reference.

Crawling

  • Configurable depth, page limit, and concurrency, with pause/resume and cancel
  • Optional robots.txt compliance (including Crawl-delay) and an independent politeness delay
  • Sitemap.xml seeding, redirect-chain tracking, and orphan-page detection
  • Optional JS rendering via headless Chrome, with an axe-core accessibility audit
  • Site fingerprinting: server/CDN/CMS detection, llms.txt discovery, hosting/ASN lookup

Auditing

  • 25+ built-in issue checks — broken links, missing/duplicate titles & meta descriptions
  • Title length, H1 issues, canonical problems, insecure links, missing alt text
  • HSTS, hreflang, and structured data errors, flagged inline in the table
  • A detail modal per page with plain-language explanations and fixes

Working with results

  • Virtualized tables handle large crawls smoothly — resizable, sortable columns
  • The URL column stays pinned while scrolling; any column can be pinned too
  • Quick text search plus canned filters (status codes, missing titles, duplicates)
  • Save/load a full crawl snapshot, or export pages and resources to CSV
