Install in one line

macOS or Linux (Terminal):

Scrawly then appears in your Applications, Start Menu or app menu. No account, no sign-up, no page cap. It updates itself when new versions are released.

What's inside

• 250 checks across 23 areas: crawlability, indexability, redirects, titles and meta, canonicals, content quality, structured data, internal links, Core Web Vitals, AI search readiness (GEO), the agentic web, accessibility, security, international SEO and more.
• AI search (GEO and AEO): AI crawler access matrix, llms.txt audit, meta descriptions as AI context, entity and agent readiness.
• Site architecture: internal link graph, internal PageRank, depth tree and a 3D site map.
• Reports: client-ready HTML and PDF reports, saved wherever you choose.
• Safe WordPress fixes: a rollback snapshot before every change, confirmation for every live write, and higher-risk issues never applied automatically.
• For AI assistants: an MCP server to use your audits from Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients.
• Private by design: no accounts and no analytics; your audits stay on your computer.
