Previously the SEO Spider would only crawl the first redirect and report the redirect URL target under the ‘Response Codes’ tab. Now when you tick this box, the SEO spider will continue to crawl redirects even in list mode and ignore crawl depth. This is really useful as the latency for users can be longer with a chain, a little extra PageRank can dissipate in each hop and a large chain of 301s can be seen as a 404 by Google (Matt discussed this in a Google Webmaster Help video here).Īnother very cool part of the redirect chain report is how it works for site migrations alongside the new ‘ Always follow redirects‘ option (in the ‘advanced tab’ of the spider configuration). This report essentially maps out chains of redirects, the number of hops along the way and will identify the source, as well as if there is a loop. There is a new ‘reports’ menu in the top level navigation of the UI, which contains the redirect chains report. Version 2.20 now includes the following – Redirect Chains Report We have been busy behind the scenes developing some very cool new features which we hope everyone will enjoy! As always, thank you to everyone for their fantastic feedback and suggestions, we still have plenty more to come. I am delighted to announce version 2.20 of the Screaming Frog SEO spider.
