The free tool crawls up to 50 pages at a maximum depth of 3 levels from your starting URL. This covers most small to medium websites. For larger sites, use AlterLab's crawl API which handles millions of pages.

Question 4

How do I submit my sitemap to Google?

Accepted Answer

Download the generated sitemap.xml file and upload it to your website's root directory. Then submit it via Google Search Console under Sitemaps, or add a reference in your robots.txt file: Sitemap: https://yoursite.com/sitemap.xml

Question 5

Is my website data sent to a server?

Accepted Answer

Yes — crawling requires server-side requests since browsers cannot follow links across domains due to CORS restrictions. Our server fetches your pages, extracts internal links, and returns the sitemap. We do not store or log crawled content.
