Screaming Frog comes equipped with another column to the right of the Address column showing what type of URI we are looking at. The most common type of URI also known as URL, is a HTML webpage. The screenshot below shows rows containing each URI: This is computing lingo for something uploaded to your server, whether it be text, image, video, audio or a script. The address column is the URI, which is an acronym for uniform resource identifier. I’ve broken down each column one by one, below… Address Column The same information is located in the horizontal columns at the top. If you click a row, the lower bottom pane of the Screaming Frog interface displays information about that resource. Resources include, among other things, webpages and images.

🙂 Resource Info SummaryĮach of the rows represent “resources”. However, if you want to hear me put it all in my own words (of course you do!) read on. There’s an official user guide on the Screaming Frog site and I suggest you refer to it if you want some documentation from the horse’s mouth. This all sounds like a lot to digest, and it is!

Scroll to the right and you’ll see various columns about the website page address, the type of content it is, status code, page title, meta description, headings, meta robots, canonical links, size of page, word count, internal links and external links. Once you’ve finished crawling a website you can scroll down to see how many pages have been included in the analysis. Enter the address of the website you’d like to crawl and click Start.
