The new issues tab should provide helpful hints and support for an SEO who can make sense of the data and interpret it into appropriate prioritised actions. The new issues tab does not replace SEO expertise and a professional who has that context of the business, strategy, objectives, resource, website and nuances related to SEO and prioritising what’s important. The SEO Spider has always been built for experts and we have been reticent to ever tell our users how to do SEO, as SEO requires context.

The new Issues tab also works with crawl comparison similar to the Overview tab, to allow users to identify where issues have changed and monitor progress over time. This will export each issue discovered (including their ‘inlinks’ variants for things like broken links) as a separate spreadsheet in a folder (as a CSV, Excel and Sheets). For users with less SEO expertise, it will help provide more direction and guidance on improving their website.Īll Issues can be exported in bulk via ‘Bulk Export > Issues > All’. Warnings are not necessarily an issue, but should be checked – and potentially fixed.Į.g – An ‘Internal URL Blocked by Robots.txt’ will be classed as a ‘warning’, but with a ‘High’ priority as it could potentially have a big impact if incorrectly disallowed.įor experienced users, the new Issues tab is a useful way to quickly identify top-level problems and dive straight into them as an alternative to the Overview tab.Opportunities are potential areas for optimisation and improvement.Issues are an error or issue that should ideally be fixed.This tab has been introduced to help better direct users to potential problems and areas for improvement, based upon existing filters from the ‘Overview’ tab.Īn in-app explanation of each issue and potential actions is provided in English, German, Spanish, French and Italian.Įach issue has a ‘type’ and an estimated ‘priority’ based upon the potential impact. There’s a new ‘ Issues’ right-hand tab, which details issues, warnings and opportunities discovered.

Since releasing the URL Inspection API integration in the SEO Spider and the launch of version 5 of the Log File Analyser, we’ve been busy working on the next round of prioritised features and enhancements. We’re pleased to announce Screaming Frog SEO Spider version 17.0, codenamed internally as ‘Lionesses’.
