## 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:** 46 tools that need no account, including redirect, mixed content and SSL expiry checkers and schema generators for FAQs, events, local businesses and organizations.

## Good for

- Owners of small sites checking on-page basics for free
- Bloggers who want a crawler for a few dollars a month
- Quick one-off checks with the free stand-alone tools

## 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.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.4 out of 4**, graded Oct 23, 2026. 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.

- **Value for money: A.** Silver 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.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** The 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.
- **Features: C.** 15+ 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.
- **Ease of use: C.** No 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.
- **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only, with no API, integrations, desktop or phone app on record.

## Keep it, 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.

- You could make: Schema markup: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: A crawler that checks every page of a site.
- You could not: Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.

A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it.

**Tags:** Site audit, Schema markup
