      Greetings:

      I have just updated my site and would like to run a crawl immediately. How can I do so before waiting for the next MOZ crawl?

      Thanks,
      Alan

        What kind of info are you looking for the crawl to provide? Moz will do a quick crawl and then a detailed crawl within a week. However, there are other things you can use.
        EDIT: You can use the Moz tool - http://pro.moz.com/tools/crawl-test

        One of the best on the market is Screaming Frog Spider. You can do so many things with it. There is a great post over at SEER Interactive on things to do with it:

          I love the screaming frog tool that Matt recommended but we do have a crawl tester here on moz.com

          http://pro.moz.com/tools/crawl-test

          You can perform the crawl up to twice per day.  It will tell you that you'll get results within 24 hours but I've never had it take more then 4 hours for a regular sized site.

          Hope this helps.

          Darin.

            Hey Alan,

            Thanks for the question! You can use the crawl test if you are between scheduled crawls, but if you run test within a few days of a scheduled crawl you may end up with cached information. You shouldn't run the crawl test on a regular basis, but its fine to do every once and a while. 😄

            Cheers,
