What crawler do you recommend for finding orphaned pages on a website?

[DigitalMarketingSEO]

Is there a crawler that you guys recommend for finding all pages, including orphaned pages on a website? A data export is not feasible. I saw a question from back in 2013 and was wondering if anything has changed since then in regards to crawling orphaned pages. Do most enterprise systems already have this built into their crawler? Or is it best to get a crawler like Xenu or Screaming Frog or Deepcrawl?

Hi there

I really like ScreamingFrog but I also really like Search Console and Moz Pro. The reason being, I like having different sets of data because they are all different. I also like seeing if pages are being linked to randomly from other sources other than my own website which Search Console does a great job (and so does Majestic or Ahrefs). Different sources find different things so it's nice to get other opinions on what you might have out there floating around.

Just my two cents! Hope this helps!

Hi there!

i agree with Patrick. I was going to recommend using Screaming Frog or Google Search Console! Let me know if you try these, don't like them, and need another recommendation.
