This feature lets you compare crawls over time and see the changes in data, issues, and opportunities in bite-sized information. To see how Screaming Frog’s crawl comparison feature performs, I have done some tinkering with the feature and explored it myself. screenshot of screaming frog's mode tab In the tool’s interface, you will find that the Mode tab is in Spider by default. Switch it from Spider to Compare mode so you start your crawl comparison analysis. screenshot of crawl data for comparison To start your crawl comparison, select the files you want to compare side by side.

When you click on the compare button, the crawl comparison analysis will run. Once it’s done with the analysis, the overview tab on the right-hand of the interface will populate, showing your current and previous crawled data CY Lists and changes. For illustration purposes, I used my stored crawled data in the tool from a new website we’re currently working on. recent and previous crawled data for comparis , there isn’t much to compare with the crawled data. Nevertheless, having explored the feature I find this to be extremely convenient for my and my team’s future website audits.



I’ve also observed that before I switched over to the database, I was using RAM and it was slowing the computer down. After the switch, my computer’s performance significantly increased while Screaming Frog was running its crawl comparison analysis at the same time. Essentially, the SEO spider tool is in Memory storage by default. This means every crawled data is automatically stored in your computer’s short-term memory (RAM). What actually happens when the crawled data is stored in RAM is that it slows down your computer. This explains why Screaming Frog strongly recommends configuring your storage mode to Database.
