Product Overview
Screaming Frog is the technical SEO audit tool. It crawls a website exactly like a search engine spider, reporting on every page's status code, title, meta description, H1s, internal linking, canonicals, structured data, and hundreds of other signals. Free for up to 500 URLs (enough for most small real estate sites); the paid license ($259/yr) removes the cap and unlocks JS rendering. Not for ongoing monitoring — this is an audit tool you run periodically or before a redesign.
