Frequently Asked Questions
How does My Website Auditor differ from Screaming Frog?
Screaming Frog is a desktop-based SEO crawler focused on on-page SEO elements (title tags, meta descriptions, redirects, broken links). My Website Auditor (MWA) is a web-based tool that goes beyond SEO — we run 200+ checks across Core Web Vitals, CSP security policies, and WCAG accessibility in under 60 seconds, with no software installation required.
Can I use both Screaming Frog and MWA?
Yes. Screaming Frog excels at large-scale on-page SEO crawling. MWA excels at quick, comprehensive diagnostics covering security and accessibility. Many teams use both.
Is My Website Auditor free?
Yes. You can run instant audits on any public website for free with zero credit card required. Registered accounts get a monthly free scan quota, with paid plans for unlimited audits.
Does MWA replace Screaming Frog for technical SEO?
MWA provides faster, web-based audits with security and accessibility coverage that Screaming Frog does not offer. For large-scale crawl projects (thousands of URLs), Screaming Frog remains the stronger choice.
