About Search Engine Spider Simulator
Search Engine Spider Simulator is a SEO tool built for people who have to show results, not just activity. See a page exactly as a crawler does — text, links and meta only. Instead of a wall of raw numbers, you get a metric breakdown that points directly at what to change next.
Point it at any publicly reachable page and it fetches, parses and evaluates what a crawler would actually see — not what your CMS previews. That distinction matters: the gap between the two is where most SEO problems hide.
Search Engine Spider Simulator is included on Professional and above. Every run counts against your plan's credit allowance, and results are saved to your history so you can return to them or attach them to a client report.
