(Insert joke about the results being more impressive than Arsenal’s) You’re able to click on the numbers in the columns to view which URLs have changed, and use the filter on the master window view to toggle between current and previous crawls, or added, new, removed or missing as well. This helps better understand progress and if issues are going up or down for URLs you already know about. It will identify whether existing URLs found in the previous crawl have moved from or to a tab or filter (‘added’ and ‘removed’), or if a URL is entirely ‘new’, or now ‘missing’ in the latest crawl. The crawl comparison analysis will then run and the right-hand overview tab will populate to show current and previous crawl data and changes. You can adjust the compare configuration (more on that shortly) or just click ‘Compare’. Or, switch to ‘Mode > Compare’ and click ‘Select Crawl’ via the top menu to pick two crawls you wish to compare. To compare, go to ‘File > Crawls’, highlight two crawls, and ‘Select To Compare’.


This feature helps track the progress of technical SEO issues and opportunities and provides granular data about what’s changed between the crawls. You can now compare crawls and see how data, issues and opportunities have changed in tabs and filters over time. This is a release we are really excited about, as it focuses on a major feature we’ve wanted to introduce for some time and have been quietly developing in the background. We are delighted to launch Screaming Frog SEO Spider version 15.0, codenamed internally as ‘disparity’.
