Screaming Frog SEO Spider Is Now 1 Year Old

It’s a year ago today that we released the SEO spider, so we thought we should celebrate a little! Check out @matthopson‘s birthday cake skillz below –

seo spider birthday!seo spider cake!

The last 12-months have been fantastic, both in terms of development of the SEO spider but also our growth as a search marketing agency. The tool itself feels much older to us (probably because we had it in development and used it internally before releasing it publically), but it has come a long way in a fairly short period of time. We have had 8 new versions of the SEO spider in the last 12-months, each with new updates and features as well as releasing a Mac version.

The success of the tool would not of been possible without the support of the SEO community. We have been completely overawed with how it has been received and the feedback the SEO community has provided. I have been genuinely humbled by the continued support of many of those in the industry who have helped us develop it further. You guys rock.

We have even bigger plans for the tool (as well as other projects in the pipeline) for the following 12-months, so there is a lot more to come.

Now it’s time to eat some cake.

Dan Sharp is founder & Director of Screaming Frog. He has developed search strategies for a variety of clients from international brands to small and medium-sized businesses and designed and managed the build of the innovative SEO Spider software.

    Hello, thanks for your tools. One suggestion, in case of checking redirection, it seems tha SeoScreamingFFrog doesn’t follow multiple redirection and doesn’t display the status code of the final uri.

    For example page1 -> 301 -> page2 -> 301 -> page3, let say page3 response code is 500 or 404. ScreamingFrog doesn’t give us this information,…, so sad.

    I wish I could have
    Origin URI / #Number of redirection / RedirectionType (301, 302) / Final Response Code.

    Thanks for your work.

    What if we want to follow 301s and 302s while operating in List mode? I use the Frog to check sites that I have asked to take down links and if the original URL is redirected I still have to manually check the new page.

      Hi Jonah,

      We have a ‘follow all redirects’ feature in our next release for just this scenario.

      At the moment, you have to re-upload the 3XX responses and so on.

      Cheers.
