CrawlBoost is a diagnostics layer<\/strong>, not another SEO plugin. It measures how efficiently crawlers reach your site and tells you what to fix \u2014 but it never modifies your XML sitemap, robots.txt, canonical tags or meta robots. That means it works alongside<\/strong> Yoast, Rank Math, SEOPress or All in One SEO instead of fighting them.<\/p>\n\n Everything below is included. There is no paid tier, no locked feature and no upgrade prompt.<\/p>\n\n Upload your server access log \u2014 Apache or Nginx combined format, plain or gzipped \u2014 and CrawlBoost parses it in PHP on your own server. The file is never transmitted anywhere.<\/p>\n\n You get the data no SEO plugin can give you, because none of them read your logs:<\/p>\n\n Access logs contain IP addresses and are personal data under GDPR, which is exactly why parsing happens locally and nothing is uploaded to a third party.<\/p>\n\n Every finding shows the tested URL, the response, why it may matter, and which system owns the fix<\/strong> \u2014 because CrawlBoost reports, it doesn't change your site.<\/p>\n\n This plugin connects to one external service, and only when the site owner explicitly enables it.<\/p>\n\n IndexNow (api.indexnow.org)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n The plugin sends URL-change notifications to the IndexNow API so that participating search engines (Bing, Yandex, Seznam, Naver, Yep) are told immediately when a public page on your site is published, updated or deleted. This service is only used when the site owner enables IndexNow on the CrawlBoost settings screen. When enabled, on each qualifying post transition or deletion the plugin sends a POST request to https:\/\/api.indexnow.org\/indexnow containing: the site's host, a plain-text key generated by the plugin, the public URL of the key verification file hosted on the same site, and the list of URLs that have changed. No visitor data, no personal data and no post content is transmitted \u2014 only public URLs of the site's own content. If IndexNow is not enabled, no requests are made.<\/p>\n\n IndexNow is a shared protocol operated by Microsoft and other participating search engines. See the IndexNow documentation and terms at https:\/\/www.indexnow.org\/documentation and the Bing Webmaster \/ IndexNow terms of use at https:\/\/www.bing.com\/webmasters\/help\/indexnow-8752a615 and privacy statement at https:\/\/privacy.microsoft.com\/privacystatement .<\/p>\n\n The Crawler Log Analyser uses no external service. Uploaded logs are parsed entirely on your own server and are not transmitted anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n No. CrawlBoost is read-only \u2014 it never writes sitemaps, robots.txt, canonicals or meta robots. It detects your SEO plugin and works alongside it.<\/p><\/dd>\n Most hosts expose it under Raw Access in cPanel, or Access Logs in your hosting panel. CrawlBoost reads Apache and Nginx combined-format logs, plain or gzipped.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. Parsing happens in PHP on your own server and the file is never transmitted to any third party.<\/p><\/dd>\n Parsing runs inside a normal PHP execution window, so the ceiling is whatever your host allows. If a file times out, split it by date range and upload the parts separately.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. Scans are run manually from the admin screens, are batched and locked to a single run at a time, and nothing runs on front-end page loads.<\/p><\/dd>\n Google does not participate in the IndexNow protocol. IndexNow notifies Bing, Yandex, Seznam, Naver and Yep.<\/p><\/dd>\n No, by design. It shows you what to fix and where \u2014 your SEO plugin, theme, host or server. Making those changes itself is how plugins conflict with each other and break sites.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. CrawlBoost is free, and every feature is included.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\nCrawler Log Analyser<\/h4>\n\n
