What it is
SEONaut is a self-hosted crawler with a web interface. It walks your site page by page and reports broken links, redirect chains, duplicate titles and descriptions, and problems with canonical and hreflang tags.What it is good for. Anyone with more than about twenty pages, which is the point where you can no longer keep them in your head. It has projects, so you can track your own site and check a competitor's separately, and it keeps crawl history so you can see whether a problem is getting better. SiteOne Crawler from Edition 7 does a one-off audit from the command line; this one is the version you keep, with a history and a screen. For a bilingual site there is a specific reason to care. Wrong hreflang tags — the tags that tell a search engine which page is the Russian one — are easy to get wrong and impossible to notice by eye.
- MIT, self-hosted, no paid tier and no crawl limits. Every commercial version of this charges by the page.
- It keeps history per project, so you can prove a fix worked instead of guessing.
- It catches the bilingual problems specifically: canonical tags and hreflang pairs.
- It needs MySQL 8.4, which is a database you probably do not run yet. That is an extra thing on the box.
- The example setup ships with the user
seonautand the passwordseonaut. Change both before it is reachable from outside. - No tagged releases at all. You track the container image, and you cannot pin a version by release number.
