What is Crawlie Cloud?
A tour of the hosted platform — what a crawl produces, how the dashboard is organised, and how Crawlie Cloud relates to the open-source crawler.
The short version
Crawlie Cloud is the hosted version of crawlie at crawlie.app. Point it at a site and it crawls every page, runs 57 SEO, accessibility and GEO (AI-search readiness) checks, and hands back a report with plain-English fixes. Put the crawl on a schedule and it becomes monitoring: we re-crawl automatically and alert you when something regresses.
Because it runs in the cloud, the crawl doesn’t depend on your laptop — you can kick off a 200,000-page crawl, close the tab, and come back to a finished report.
What every crawl produces
Each crawl becomes a report with three scores, all 0–100:
| Score | What it measures |
|---|---|
| Health | Technical SEO — broken links, redirects, metadata, canonicals, indexability. |
| GEO | How citable your pages are by AI search (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews). |
| A11y | Accessibility of your pages. |
Below the scores you get every issue grouped by rule, with affected URLs and a concrete fix for each. See Reading a report for the full walkthrough.
Finding your way around
- Reports — every crawl you’ve run, searchable and filterable.
- Projects — one per site. A project collects that site’s crawl history, its schedule, its site search index, and its alert settings.
- Rules — the custom checks your workspace runs on every crawl, alongside the built-in engine.
- Settings — your profile, members, plan & billing, and API keys.
Everything lives in a workspace, which you can share with your whole team — see Workspaces.
Built for agents too
Your account isn’t just a dashboard. The same crawls and reports are available to AI agents and pipelines through a REST API and a hosted MCP server, so Claude, Cursor, or your CI can run audits and read the results.
How it relates to the open-source crawler
The engine inside Crawlie Cloud is the same open-source crawler you can run locally — MIT-licensed, free forever. The cloud adds the parts that don’t fit on a laptop: scheduled monitoring, alerting, shared workspaces, report history and share links, hosted search, and the always-on API/MCP surface.
