      What tools do you use for conducting a site audit? I need to do an audit on a site and the seomoz web crawler and on page optimization will takes days if not a full week to return any results.

      In past Ive used other tools that I could run on the fly and they would return broken links, missing htags, keyword density, server information and more.

      Curious as to what you all use and what you may recommend to use in conjunction with the moz tools.

        Although it has many limitations, I use: http://marketing.grader.com periodically. It's fast and covers the basics.

          Hi Anthony,

          I use a combination of tools for audits.  SEOmoz is great for client-facing reports, and tracking issues over time.  The downside is that you don't have that "on-demand" capability to crank out a full audit the instant you need it.

          For on-demand audits, I use Screaming Frog, which is free for 500 URLs, and $99 for an unlimited license - it's worth every penny, and returns a full range of technical SEO data, which you can export and manipulate in Excel.

            I use the following tools:

            1. Xenu - identifies broken links
            2. GSite Enterprise Crawler - identifies on page issues
            3. Google Cache, Google Webmaster Tools - finds crawling issues
            4. Scritch - finds server/platform type
            5. Ahrefs, Majestic, OSE - for link diagnostics
            6. SEO Book Bulk Server Header Tool
