We’re rolling out an update to DeepCrawl over the next week.
Here’s a summary of the changes which are mostly front-end interface improvements.
Monitoring Tab Redesign
The Website Monitoring tab which shows your scheduled crawls has been improved. It now displays mini-graphs for unique pages, duplicate pages, non-indexable pages and non-200 status codes to help give a better overview of any significant changes.
Share Reports
Every report now has a share URL near the downloads. This URL allows anyone to access the project without a login which is ideal for agencies to share with their clients.
Crawl Summary – Warnings/Notices/Improvements
This was a bit confusing so we now show you a prioritise list of issues with the totals and also the significant changes between crawl.
New Report – Duplicate Content
In addition to Duplicate Pages where the entire HTML is very similar, we have created an additional report under the Content tab which looks for high levels of duplication in the content excluding the HTML
Crawl Settings Stored
You can now see the specific crawl settings such as user agent on the crawl overview screen which wasn’t available before so sometimes you’d forget when settings were changed. The full details can be views by expanding the link.
New Styling
We’ve updated the styling to be consistent with other Semetrical products. It shouldn’t affect anything but gives the package a slightly cleaner feel.
We’re planning the features to include in the next release so don’t hesitate to let us know which features you’d like the most.
