View internal and external links, filter and export them
It is possible to analyze a specified URL, and view a list of internal and external links in separate tabs. The first come along with details such as address, type of content, status code, title, meta description, keywords, size, word count, level, hash and external out links, while the latter only reveals info such as address, content, status, level and inlinks.
Both can be filtered according to HTML, JavaScript, CSS, images, PDF, Flash or other coordinates, while it is possible to export them to a CSV, XLS or XLSX format.
View further details and graphs, and generate reports
In addition to that, you can check the response time of multiple links, view page titles, their occurrences, length and pixel width. It is possible to view huge lists with meta keywords and their length, headers and images.
Graphical representations of certain situations are also available in the main window, along with a folder structure of all SEO elements analyzed, as well as stats pertaining to the depth of the website and average response time.
It is possible to use a proxy server, create a site map and save it to the HDD using an XML extension and generate multiple reports pertaining to crawl overview, redirect chains and canonical errors.
