We’ve now also introduced an ‘API’ tab into the right-hand window pane, to allow users to keep an eye on progress. When you have connected to an API, link metrics will appear in real time, under the new ‘Link Metrics’ tab and in the ‘Internal’ tab, so they can be combined with all the usual crawl and analytical data. This has been a much-requested feature and is extremely useful for performing a content audit, or quickly bulk checking link metrics against a list of URLs. You can now connect to Majestic, Ahrefs and Moz APIs and pull in external link metrics during a crawl. And, it still stays true to its fairly retro styling.Īs you can see, it’s a little more modern and has splashes of colour, but now also takes advantage of new technologies in the updated framework, and works with HDPI monitors by default. However, please don’t panic – it retains the core usability and data led functionality of what made the interface loved by users. The SEO Spider has ruined many an SEO’s slide deck over the years, with its retro (yet, beautifully functional) user interface, and we felt it was finally deserving of an update. Our team have been busy in development working on some exciting new features, so let’s get straight to it, and talk about what’s new in version 8.0. I’m excited to announce the release of Screaming Frog SEO Spider 8.0, codenamed internally as ‘All J’s must go’.
