Other reasons for seeing a 404 may be because the URI is included in your website sitemap or exists only as a canonical link with no actual page.Ĭlick the row and use the lower pane to look for clues as to the cause of the 404:Ĭlicking the Inlinks and Outlinks buttons will normally reveal where the error is originating: A status code of 200 means that everything is functioning successfully and that search engines are able to fetch those particular resources.Ī 404 (Not Found) suggests resources from a particular URI are unavailable.There are several possible reasons.Ī webpage might have been deleted, or the URI might have been changed to something else but there could be page on your site still trying to link to that resource. The next two columns return the status of each URI. In the screenshot below we have a mixture of HTML webpages (with character set information), images (JPEG files, in this case) and applications (javascript). Each row indicates what type of content is on each URI. The Content column sits to the right hand side of the Address column. Screaming Frog comes equipped with another column to the right of the Address column showing what type of URI we are looking at. The most common type of URI also known as URL, is a HTML webpage. The screenshot below shows rows containing each URI: This is computing lingo for something uploaded to your server, whether it be text, image, video, audio or a script. The address column is the URI, which is an acronym for uniform resource identifier. I’ve broken down each column one by one, below… Address Column The same information is located in the horizontal columns at the top.
If you click a row, the lower bottom pane of the Screaming Frog interface displays information about that resource. Resources include, among other things, webpages and images.
🙂 Resource Info SummaryĮach of the rows represent “resources”. However, if you want to hear me put it all in my own words (of course you do!) read on. There’s an official user guide on the Screaming Frog site and I suggest you refer to it if you want some documentation from the horse’s mouth. This all sounds like a lot to digest, and it is! Scroll to the right and you’ll see various columns about the website page address, the type of content it is, status code, page title, meta description, headings, meta robots, canonical links, size of page, word count, internal links and external links. Once you’ve finished crawling a website you can scroll down to see how many pages have been included in the analysis.
Enter the address of the website you’d like to crawl and click Start.
