For intensive crawls is screaming frog still recommended?
I want to crawl intensively an ecommerce site which I’ve created that contains about 60K pages. I was looking for SEMRush or Ahrefs, but I had already used Screaming Frog tool to crawl vast number of URLs successfully. Is Screaming Frog still good today in catching errors. I’ll automate daily crawls too.

Screaming frog has always been a go-to-tool for me. Can’t think about anything better for now. You can also try sitebulb tool which also has URL / website crawler.
Yes, I’ll choose Screaming Frog for deep, intensive URL crawls. The pro plan allows unlimited URL crawls and it finds errors, duplicate pages, broken links, etc for one annual fee of $239 which is far more cheaper than its alternatives like SEMrush or Ahrefs.
For big projects, e-commerce sites, etc. I will highly recommend screamingfox. It is one of the best tools for website crawling. Also you can try onecrawl too.
I run SEO agency in UK and screaming forg is what we use for search engine optimisation. It’s quite handy tool. But thanks for recommending onecrawl and sitebulb. will give them a try!!
Best tool imo, I also automate daily crawls and populate to dashboards, and you can integrate chat-GPT, page speed API, GA4, etc. easily. Overally its best value for money.
Screaming-Frog is still a top choice for deep crawls, especially for large projects. For alternatives, consider Sitebulb (great for audits/visualizations) or JetOctopus is also good with cloud based URL crawling for SEO purposes.
We too at Ignite Visibility use screaming frog for our page optimization purposes. They have integration with chatGPT. You can run prompts on each page it crawls.
