Simple cloud crawler with on-page SEO reports and a free plan
CrawlCenter report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 23, 2026
Best for basic on-page checks of a small site
CrawlCenter crawls a site in the cloud and builds 15+ on-page reports on titles, descriptions, headings, canonicals, broken links and thin content, for $3 a month or free at 50 URLs. It ignores JavaScript content, doesn't follow redirects, and its pages disagree on refunds, with a footer that still reads 2021.
Who CrawlCenter is for
- Fits if you own a small site and want on-page basics checked for little or nothing
- Works for one-off checks with its 46 stand-alone tools, which need no account
Who CrawlCenter is not for
- Skip it if your pages are built with JavaScript, which the crawler ignores
- Watch out: it doesn't follow redirects, so redirected URLs show as pages without titles or canonicals
- Tight if you stay free, at one 50-URL project with ads
- Too light for sites past 2,000 URLs, the Silver cap per project
- Watch out: its pricing page offers refunds for 14 days, its FAQ for 1, and the footer still reads 2021
Why CrawlCenter gets a 2.4
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- AValue for moneySilver is $3 a month for 10 projects of up to 2,000 URLs each, well under 60% of this category's cheaper quarter of $13.
- CFree plan and trialThe free Basic plan has every report and unlimited crawls, but 1 project of 50 URLs, shown with ads, and the project can be deleted only once a month.
- CFeatures15+ reports on content, titles, descriptions, headings, robots tags, canonicals, broken links, status codes, alt text and response times. The gaps: it ignores JavaScript content, doesn't follow redirects, and Silver stops at 2,000 URLs a project.
- CEase of useNo rating on record. You register, create a project and run the crawler. Redirected URLs then show up as pages without titles or canonicals, which takes some reading.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with no API, integrations, desktop or phone app on record.

Keep CrawlCenter, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of CrawlCenter you could make: schema markup. What surrounds it you could not. The 2 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It costs $36 a year.
What you could make
- Schema markup: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- A crawler that checks every page of a site.
- Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
What this rests on. CrawlCenter’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is CrawlCenter?
CrawlCenter is a small cloud-based crawler that stores a crawl of your site and builds more than 15 on-page SEO reports from it, covering broken links, duplicate titles and descriptions, canonicals, headings, noindex pages, alt text and thin content. The free plan covers one 50-URL project, and the paid Silver plan raises that to ten projects of 2,000 URLs. The site also hosts 46 free single-purpose tools, such as a redirect checker and schema generators.
Worth knowing
- The crawler ignores content generated by JavaScript; its FAQ says JavaScript crawling is not yet available to users.
- It does not follow redirects, so redirected URLs appear as pages without titles or canonicals until the links are updated.
- The free plan stops at one 50-URL project and shows ads; Silver stops at 2,000 URLs per project.
- Its pages disagree on refunds: the pricing page offers 14 days, the FAQ only 1 day. The site's footer still reads 2021.
Key features
- On-page SEO reports
- Builds more than 15 reports from each crawl, covering content, titles, meta descriptions, headings, robots meta tags, canonical URLs and nofollow links.
- Broken links and status codes
- Lists broken internal and external links, and an HTTP status report filters pages by code to find 301 and 302 redirects.
- Duplicates and thin content
- Finds pages that share a title, meta description or keywords tag, and pages with little content.
- Links, images and indexability
- Counts internal and external links per page, shows internal anchor text, lists images without alt text and flags pages with a noindex tag.
- Response times
- Records the response time of every crawled page so slow pages can be sorted out without testing them one at a time.
- Free stand-alone tools
