Screaming Frog SEO Spider v13.0 is Out With Features Like Near Duplicate Content Analysis

Screaming Frog SEO Spider v13.0 has just been released, some of the features include:

• Near Duplicate Content Analysis – You can now discover near-duplicate pages, not just exact duplicates. Semantic elements such as the nav and footer are automatically excluded from the content analysis, but you can refine it further by excluding or including HTML elements, classes and IDs. This can help focus the analysis on the main content area, avoiding known boilerplate text.
• Spelling & Grammar Checks – You’re now also able to perform a spelling and grammar check during a crawl. The new ‘Content’ tab has filters for ‘Spelling Errors’ and ‘Grammar Errors’ and displays counts for each page crawled.
• Improved Link Data (Link Position, Path, Target) – This can help identify ‘inlinks’ to a page that are only from in-body content, for example, ignoring any links in the main navigation, or footer for better internal link analysis. The ‘path type’ of a link is also recorded (absolute, path-relative, protocol-relative or root-relative), which can be seen in inlinks, outlinks and all bulk exports. They will also show the ‘target’ attribute for every link, to help identify links which use ‘_blank’ to open in a new tab.
• Security Checks – The ‘Protocol’ tab has been renamed to ‘Security‘ and more up to date security-related checks and filters have been introduced. You’re now able to quickly find mixed content, issues with insecure forms, unsafe cross-origin links, protocol-relative resource links, missing security headers and more.
• Show Differences between raw and rendered HTML:  in the ‘View Source’ tab, you can now click ‘Show Differences’ and it will perform a diff between the raw and rendered HTML.
