How we chose these: tools we list in Technical SEO, audits and speed, or in other categories that cover it too, that work where Screaming Frog SEO Spider works or on any website. Tools that work where Screaming Frog SEO Spider works come first, then tools whose main job is the same, then tools we’ve tested by score, then the rest by name. Commission never changes the order. We leave out tools that are discontinued or closed to new customers, and Screaming Frog SEO Spider’s own add-ons. Updated Oct 24, 2026.
