Screaming Frog is a well-known website crawler. Most SEOs know about the tool and has it in their tool set as it helps with crawling a site, checking each page, and looking for any issues that may need attention and fixing.

It’s a very comprehensive crawler that is able to analyze small to really large sites, and is available in a free version, with limited crawling capabilities, and in a paid version.

On a Reddit SEO community, someone asked about how to justify getting a paid subscription to Screaming Frog to his boss.

John Mueller chimed in and said that he pays for his own copy and he does not even do SEO. He finds the tool super-useful.
