List Mode<\/h2><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The Seo Spider provides two scanning modes: the standard one called ‘Spider’ which scans an entire website, and the ‘List’ mode which limits scanning to loading a specific list of URLs.<\/p>\n

Let’s see together how to make the most of the second option.<\/p>\n

First of all, you need to change the crawling type by clicking on “Mode > List” from the main menu.<\/p>\n<\/div>

At the configuration level, you have to take into account two major differences between the “List” and “Spider” modes:<\/p>\n

At the Ux level, the Seo Spider interface changes and shows a load button instead of an address bar.<\/p>\n

In the list mode the “Limit Crawl Depth” determines the crawl depth automatically to “0”.<\/p>\n

This means that only uploaded URLs are scanned unlike the “Spider” mode which also considers references to images, external links etc.<\/p>\n

The only exception is for “Javascript Rendered,” where the Seo Spider needs to scan the page resources to accurately render the page in its Chrome browser.<\/p>\n
