Deep Website Crawling
Recursively discover every page on your website. Our intelligent crawler maps your entire site structure with precision and speed.
What Is Deep Website Crawling?
Deep website crawling is the systematic process of discovering and visiting every accessible page on your website. Unlike shallow crawls that only check your homepage, our deep crawler follows links recursively—from page to page—until it has mapped your entire site structure.
Think of it like a search engine spider. It starts at your homepage, extracts all the links, visits those pages, extracts their links, and continues this process across multiple levels. This reveals exactly how your content is interconnected and whether search engines can find all your important pages.
Our crawler uses a Breadth-First Search (BFS) algorithm, which explores your website level by level. This ensures complete coverage and makes it easy to understand your site's hierarchy. Pages at depth 0 are your entry points, depth 1 are pages directly linked from entry points, depth 2 are pages linked from depth 1 pages, and so on.
Why Depth Matters for SEO
Search engines like Google have "crawl budgets"—they won't crawl infinitely deep into your site. Pages buried 5+ clicks away from your homepage often don't get indexed. Our crawler helps you identify these orphaned pages and fix your internal linking structure.

How The Crawler Works
Understanding the technology behind deep website crawling
Start Point
Enter your website URL. The crawler begins at your homepage or specified starting URL.
BFS Algorithm
Uses Breadth-First Search to explore level by level. Ensures systematic, complete coverage of your site structure.
Link Extraction
Parses HTML to extract all hyperlinks. Categorizes them as internal or external, tracks rel attributes.
Duplicate Detection
URL normalization prevents crawling the same page twice. Even with different query parameters or fragments.
Depth Tracking
Every page is tagged with its depth level. Control how deep to crawl based on your needs and plan limits.
Database Storage
All data stored in SQLite for memory efficiency. Handle massive websites without running out of memory.
