Store HTML
This allows you to save the static HTML of every URL crawled by the SEO Spider to disk, and view it in the ‘View Source’ lower window pane (on the left hand side, under ‘Original HTML’). They can be bulk exported via ‘Bulk Export > Web > All Page Source’.
This enables you to view the original HTML before JavaScript comes into play, in the same way as a right click ‘view source’ in a browser. This is great for debugging, or for comparing against the rendered HTML.
Store rendered HTML
This allows you to save the rendered HTML of every URL crawled by the SEO Spider to disk, and view in the ‘View Source’ lower window pane (on the right hand side, under ‘Rendered HTML’). They can be bulk exported via ‘Bulk Export > Web > All Page Source’.
This enables you to view the DOM like ‘inspect element’ (in Chrome in DevTools), after JavaScript has been processed.
Please note, this option will only work when JavaScript rendering is enabled.
