Prompt
Can you recommend a website audit platform for finding broken links and duplicate content across a large ecommerce site?
Latest observation
Yes — for a large ecommerce site, I’d recommend Screaming Frog SEO Spider as the best starting point, with Sitebulb or Ahrefs Site Audit as strong alternatives depending on your needs.
Best fit: Screaming Frog SEO Spider
Why it’s good:
- Excellent for finding broken links
- Strong at detecting duplicate content, duplicate titles, meta descriptions, canonical issues, and near-duplicate pages
- Very flexible for large crawls
- Can integrate with Google Analytics/Search Console and export detailed reports
Best for: SEO teams that want a powerful, technical crawl tool and don’t mind a more hands-on interface.
Potential limitation:
For extremely large ecommerce sites, you may need the paid version and a well-configured crawl setup to handle millions of URLs efficiently.
Good alternative: Sitebulb
Why it’s good:
- More visual and easier to interpret than Screaming Frog
- Great reporting on broken links, duplicate content, indexation, internal linking, and site architecture
- Useful for presenting findings to non-technical stakeholders
Best for: Teams that want strong audits with clearer explanations and visual reports.
Enterprise option: Ahrefs Site Audit
Why it’s good:
- Good for ongoing site health monitoring
- Identifies broken internal/external links and duplicate content-related issues
- Cloud-based, so less heavy on your machine
Best for: Marketing teams already using Ahrefs who want a continuous audit workflow.
If your site is very large or complex
You may also want to consider:
- Lumar (formerly Deepcrawl) — strong enterprise crawler for very large ecommerce sites
- Botify — excellent for large-scale technical SEO and log file analysis
Quick recommendation
- Best overall value/power: Screaming Frog
- Best UX/reporting: Sitebulb
- Best enterprise-scale platform: Lumar or Botify
If you want, I can also recommend the best option based on your site size, budget, and whether you need cloud vs desktop.
