Why Single-Page Audits Are Not Enough
Running an SEO audit on your homepage is like inspecting one room of a house and declaring the whole property structurally sound. Your homepage is probably your most optimised page. The problems are elsewhere — in category pages, blog posts, product listings, and landing pages that nobody has looked at in months.
A site crawl examines every URL on your website. It finds issues at scale — 200 pages with missing meta descriptions, 47 pages returning 404 errors, 15 redirect chains causing link equity loss — and shows you the patterns that matter most.
What a Site Crawl Analyses
Page discovery — the crawler follows internal links from your homepage outward, building a complete map of every URL on your site, including pages not in your sitemap, orphaned pages, and pages accidentally blocked by robots.txt.
HTTP status codes — every URL is checked for its response code. A healthy site has very few non-200 responses outside of intentional redirects.
Title tags and meta descriptions — checked across every page for missing content, duplicates, and length issues.
Heading structure — H1, H2, and H3 tags are checked for presence, duplication, and logical hierarchy.
Internal linking — the crawler maps your internal link structure, showing which pages receive the most authority and which are poorly connected.
What the AIPageSEO Site Crawler Does
The Site Crawler follows all internal links from a seed URL, building a complete picture of your site's technical health. The report shows full URL list with status codes, page-by-page SEO issue summary, site-wide issue counts ranked by severity, internal link graph, orphaned pages, duplicate content clusters, and crawl depth analysis.
How to Prioritise Crawl Findings
Fix first — broken pages, server errors, pages accidentally blocked from indexing, and missing title tags on high-traffic pages. Fix soon — duplicate title tags, missing meta descriptions, and redirect chains longer than two hops. Fix when you can — missing alt text and orphaned pages.
