Linux Web Crawler

This tool is a Linux-focused web crawl engine designed for local usage to audit how a site would be crawled, including depth limits, URL discovery, and indexability indicators. It operates without external services, enabling repeatable runs in CI pipelines or developer machines. It accepts a start URL and crawls links up to a configured maximum depth and page count.
Conceptually, the crawler normalizes URLs, resolves relative links, and respects robots.txt by default. It maintains a deterministic queue to ensure reproducibility, records per-page data such as status codes and content types, and aggregates metrics like total pages found, unique URLs, and crawl duration. Optional features include custom headers, domain restrictions, and incremental resumes.
Benefits include faster pre-launch site audits, safer regression checks, and auditable data for SEO teams. By producing machine-readable exports, teams can feed results into dashboards, CI reports, or content inventories. The Linux-first design favors scripting, repeatability, and seamless integration with source control and build pipelines.
Core differentiators are offline operation, strict RFC-compliant robots handling, configurable rate limiting and concurrency, and exportable reports that support quality assurance and SEO workflows. Typical use cases include pre-release audits, change-impact analysis, crawl-health monitoring over time, and comparison of crawl results across versions or environments.
