DeepCrawl is a cloud-base crawler, mainly used by SEO teams.
Most often it’s used for Technical auditing, in order to find technical SEO issues of websites.
You can run DeepCrawl on your own website, as well as on any other site (unless it blocks 3rd party crawling). You can use DeepCrawl to crawl through Staging environments, backlinks, and sitemaps.
What’s great about DeepCrawl is the reporting, and how easy it is to quickly understand the main issues your site has, with a full drill down on a single URL basis that you can easily export.
While there are quite a few SEO crawlers available these days, DeepCrawl is what we call a Premium crawler. A one that can handle huge sites too.
DeepCrawl is often used when making large changes, such as migrations, or redesign projects.
A known fact about DeepCrawl that we love is that it was built by SEOs, and you can feel it in every single one of the reports. You can also customize and control many options, from specific sections to crawl, to specific crawl types, and all the way to advanced settings such as the stealth mode, that allows you to crawl (despite quite slowly), even external sites that do block 3rd party crawling.
