Projects

What a project is

A project represents one site. Crawl the same site again and the new report joins the project’s history, which is what unlocks the time-based features:

• History — every crawl of the site, in one place.
• Compare — diff any two crawls to see what changed. See Comparing crawls.
• Schedule — recurring crawls on paid plans. See Scheduled crawls.
• Search — a hosted search index built from the latest crawl. See Site search.
• Alerts — an email and webhook when a scheduled crawl finds a regression. See Webhooks & alerts.

Creating projects

You rarely create one by hand. When you start a whole-site crawl, Crawlie matches the URL’s host against your existing projects and either attaches the crawl or offers to create a new project on the spot. Prefer not to keep the site around? Run it as a one-off and no project is created.

Limits

The Hobby plan includes 3 projects; every paid plan has unlimited projects. See Plans.

Deleting a project

Deleting a project removes the site’s schedule, alerts, and search index — but keeps its past reports. They stay in your Reports list as unattached reports until you delete them individually. See Report retention & deletion.
