The Crawl Comparison section of our Website Audit tool is designed to help you quickly spot domain metric changes and data discrepancies between the last and previous audits. It summarizes both audits, including their Health Score, number of pages crawled, checks passed, and issues detected. Issues are also categorized by severity and status (“New” or “Fixed”).
Below are the domain metrics included in the Crawl Comparison section:
- Domain expiration
- Backlinks
- Domain Trust
- Pages on Google
- Pages on Bing
Once a single project has been audited at least twice, you can compare and contrast the results under the Crawl Comparison section. You can also choose from different entries to compare if you’ve done multiple audits.
After you pick two dates for comparison, the Crawl Comparison tool will display both audit statistics side-by-side. This gives you a clearer picture of which metrics improved and which got worse.
In the settings above the comparison table, you can toggle an option to display only the differences between audits. It will hide all unchanged information since the last check.
