Usage Guide

This guide covers the core features of CrawlSage and how to integrate them into your daily workflow for maximum impact.

Full Audit

A Full Audit is the most comprehensive scan CrawlSage offers. It crawls every discoverable page on your domain to build a complete map of your site's health.

  • Crawling: We follow internal links to find every page.
  • Validation: We check status codes (200, 404, 500, etc.) for every asset.
  • SEO Analysis: We evaluate H1s, meta titles, descriptions, and canonical tags.

Quick Scan

Need results fast? The Quick Scan audits your top 50 most important pages (based on traffic or sitemap priority). It's perfect for a daily check-up or after a small deployment.

Security Scan

Our security engine checks for common web vulnerabilities, including:

  • Missing security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options).
  • Exposed sensitive files (e.g., .env, .git).
  • Outdated software versions in detected CMS.

Optimization and apply flow

In optimization view, CrawlSage shows current values and AI suggestions side by side so your team can review before applying.

  • Preview each change before apply (title, meta description, headings, content, and related fields).
  • Apply single fixes or bulk approved fixes.
  • Use Apply History to inspect what was changed and when.
  • Rollback specific applied changes if a result is not desired.

Reading audit results

Results are categorized into three levels of severity:

  1. Critical: Issues that prevent indexing or pose immediate security risks. Fix these first.
  2. Warning: Issues that impact rankings or user experience but don't break the site.
  3. Notice: Minor optimizations or best practices.

Fixing and rescanning

Once you've implemented or applied a fix, re-run an audit to confirm impact. You can open the live audit view from reports to monitor progress.

Best practices

  • Schedule Weekly Audits: Keep a baseline of your site health.
  • Approve before apply: Require human review for medium/high-risk AI suggestions.
  • Use rollback intentionally: If metrics regress, rollback and compare before/after in the next audit.
