Crawl Daddy, reprised ✦ now with fewer excuses
Your blog has issues. We'll find every single one.
That One Crawler reads every page on your site and reports back like that one brutally honest friend: missing H1s, thin content, duplicate titles, broken pages, and that 2019 post with no meta description.
- /hello-worldMissing H1
- /aboutTitle too long (94 chars)
- /quick-update41 words. Forty-one.
- 12 pagesAll titled "Untitled"
- /2020-goals404, much like the goals
- /gallery212 images, 0 alt tags
- /best-post-evernoindex. Nobody will ever know.
- /old-url4 redirects deep
- /recipesMeta description is literally "meta description"
- /contactNo Open Graph tags. Shares look like ransom notes.
Example findings from a typical blog, for illustration.
Things we will absolutely judge
Every page gets a score out of 100 and a list of what's wrong, ranked from "fix this today" to "whenever you get a sec".
- <title>
Titles & meta descriptions
Too long, too short, missing, or copy-pasted across 47 posts. We count the characters so you don't have to.
- <h1>
Headings
A page without an H1 is just a vibe. We will find every single vibe.
- <300w
Thin content
Under 300 words isn't a blog post. It's a tweet with ambitions.
- ×12
Duplicates
Twelve pages with the same title? Google can't tell your children apart either.
- 404
Broken pages & redirects
Dead links, redirect chains and URLs that wander off to other websites. The haunted wing of your blog.
- noindex
Indexability
noindex tags and robots.txt rules quietly hiding your best work from search engines. Rude.
- og:
Social & structured data
Open Graph, Twitter cards and JSON-LD: the stuff that makes your shared links look like they have their life together.
- ✦ AI
Speed & a second opinion
PageSpeed scores if you want the numbers, plus one-click AI rewrites for titles and meta descriptions.
How it works
- 1
Paste a URL
Any blog. Yours, ideally. Snooping on competitors is also allowed.
- 2
We read everything
Sitemap first. No sitemap? We follow links like a nosy neighbor, a few pages at a time so your server barely notices.
- 3
You get the verdict
A score, a prioritized to-do list and a mild existential crisis. Export to CSV for crying in a spreadsheet.
Reviews from the crawled
Unverified. Unpaid. Mostly fictional. Emotionally true.
★★★★★
“It found 212 images without alt text. I didn't know I had 212 images.”
— A food blog, probably
★★★★★
“Rude. Accurate. Five stars.”
— A WordPress site with three plugins too many

“I was noindexed for two years and nobody told me.”
— /best-post-ever
★★★★★
“Finally, someone who reads past the first paragraph.”
— A 4,000-word listicle
Questions, nervously asked
Will this break my site?+
No. We crawl politely, a few pages at a time, and only read public pages. Your server will barely notice. Your ego might.
Is it really free?+
Yes. It runs on a hobby plan and pure spite. No signup, no email, no "book a demo".
Where do my results go?+
Into your own browser. Scans are saved on your device, not on our servers. We don't have a database. We barely have a server.
How many pages can it check?+
Up to 1,000 per scan (300 by default). We read your sitemap first and check posts before tag and category archives.
My site is built with JavaScript and the results look empty.+
We read the HTML your server sends, the way most crawlers do on their first pass. If the content only shows up after JavaScript runs, we flag it, because search engines may struggle with it too.
What happened to Crawl Daddy?+
He retired. This is his more responsible younger sibling: same instincts, faster legs, and no longer needs to be republished every 30 days to stay alive.
