# Sitebulb

> Sitebulb is a desktop and cloud tool for crawling websites and running technical SEO audits, surfacing issues in clear, visual reports.

**Sitebulb** is a tool for crawling websites and running technical SEO audits, available in desktop and cloud versions. It simulates a search-engine bot, walks through a site's pages and gathers data on structure, linking, performance and errors — then presents it in clear reports with visualisations and actionable hints. It is one of the more popular tools supporting systematic [on-page SEO](https://nodea.io/en/glossary/on-page-seo).

## How Sitebulb works

The tool acts like a [crawler](https://nodea.io/en/glossary/crawler), but its value lies in how it presents results. A typical audit covers:

- **Architecture and internal linking** — visualising structure, page depth and the flow of link equity.
- **Technical issues** — HTTP status errors, redirects, duplicate content, missing metadata.
- **Performance** — assessment of speed and [Core Web Vitals](https://nodea.io/en/glossary/core-web-vitals).
- **Prioritisation** — flagging issue severity and suggesting a fix order.

With its charts and site maps, Sitebulb makes it easier to understand relationships that raw tables often obscure.

## Sitebulb in practice

Sitebulb is used for periodic technical audits, diagnosing visibility drops, checking deployments and preparing client recommendations. It is a frequent complement to or alternative for [Screaming Frog](https://nodea.io/en/glossary/screaming-frog) — where not just a raw data dump but clear interpretation and priorities matter. An audit with such a tool is best combined with Google Search Console data and server log analysis to see the full picture of indexing and how bots actually behave.

### How does Sitebulb differ from Screaming Frog?

Both crawl a site and detect technical SEO issues. Screaming Frog offers raw, flexible data and detailed exports, while Sitebulb emphasises visualisations, issue prioritisation and ready-made recommendations, which is often more convenient for less technical users.
