We love the name and the updates. Screaming Frog is an industry-standard software for SEO work. It crawls your website and allows us to understand elements on a page-by-page basis (and at a larger holistic level). Now... like magic, it also includes more sophisticated toolsets to be more efficient with Javascript and AI integrations. Have you ever seen me light up when talking about n-Grams in PPC? If not, you are missing out. But the same thing happens when I study them in SEO. All this sound pretty much like geek and nerd speak? That's okay. Just know we love our work and how working with the best tools makes your digital marketing more effective and brings you more of the right customers.
We’re delighted to announce that Screaming Frog SEO Spider version 20.0 is now available 🐸 Buckle up, it's a big one! https://lnkd.in/eYBZrZJE 🧙♂️ Custom JavaScript You’re now able to execute custom JavaScript while crawling. This means you’re able to manipulate pages or extract data, as well as communicate with APIs such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, local LLMs, or other libraries. You can do things like: - Use AI to generate alt text for images. - Trigger mouseover events. - Scroll a page (to crawl some infinite scroll set ups). - Download and save various content locally (like images, or PDFs etc). - Sentiment, intent or language analysis of page content. - Connect to SEO tool APIs that are not already integrated, such as Sistrix. - And more! 🤖 Crawl with ChatGPT You can select the ‘(ChatGPT) Template’ snippet, open it up in the JavaScript editor, add your OpenAI API key, and adjust the prompt to query anything you like against a page while crawling! The possibilities are endless. Setup your own snippets, which will be saved in your own user library, and then export/import the library as JSON to share with colleagues and friends. 📱 Mobile Usability You are now able to audit mobile usability at scale via the Lighthouse integration. There’s a new Mobile tab with filters for common mobile usability issues such as viewport not set, tap target size, content not sized correctly, illegible font sizes and more. 🔑 N-grams Analysis You can now analyse phrase frequency using n-gram analysis across pages of a crawl, or aggregated across a selection of pages of a website. This analysis can help improve on-page alignment, identify gaps in keywords and also provide a new way to identify internal link opportunities. Using n-grams you’re able to highlight a section of a website and filter for keywords in ‘Body Text (Unlinked)’ to identify link opportunities. 🌳 Carbon Footprint The SEO Spider will now automatically calculate carbon emissions for each page using CO2.js library. Alongside the CO2 calculation there is a carbon rating for each URL, and new ‘High Carbon Rating’ opportunity under the ‘Validation’ tab. And lots more. Take a look at our release notes for a full list. Enjoy! #seo #technicalseo #seocrawler #ai #chatgpt #screamingfrog
