Part 01 · Overview

Welcome

What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first

2.4

GPA, above 41 of the 83 other technical SEO tools we grade

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.

To get you started, here are 9 things to know about CrawlCenter, taken from its own pages and our grades.

You register, create a project and run the crawler.
From our grade for ease of use
  1. 1

    Best for basic on-page checks of a small site

    As its pricing page puts it: $3 per month, billed monthly.

  3. 3

    There is a free plan

    Basic plan: 1 project of up to 50 URLs, unlimited crawls and all reports, with ads. The project can be deleted once a month.

  4. 4

    Web.

  5. 5

  6. 6

    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.

  7. 7

    Duplicates and thin content

    Finds pages that share a title, meta description or keywords tag, and pages with little content.

  8. 8

    A 2.4 GPA, above 41 of 83

    That is against the other technical SEO tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.

The report card

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.

ToolGPA report cardCrawlCenterGraded Oct 23, 2026
SubjectGradeComment
Value for moneyASilver 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 trialCThe 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.
FeaturesC15+ 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 useCNo 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 integrationsCWeb only, with no API, integrations, desktop or phone app on record.
Grade point averageFair, out of 4.02.4

An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.

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 it 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

Good to know

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.

Keep it, or make your own?

Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.

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.
