What do you learn from this program?
KWT Spider shows real crawl data — not theory,but actual URLs,status codes,titles,and canonicals. You can learn every topic by linking it to the tool's tabs and reports.
1. HTTP status codes and redirects
- 2xx (OK),3xx (redirect),4xx (client error),5xx (server error)— You can view status of each URL which help you determine the good or bad codes for SEO.
- Redirect chains— A → B → C;It is an issue and how to handle it (evaluate at least one URL with Redirect Checker).
- Final URL— After redirects,take a look at the actual URL;analyze how it is associated with duplicate content and canonicals.
Locate:HTTP Statustab,Redirect Checker(Tools),Conversion of All URLs → Status column.
2. URL structure and technical issues
- URL depth,length,query params,casing &trailing slash— Press the Audit button for analysing what to remove for search engines and users.
- Soft 404,redirect loops— recognize these loops via flags/columns.
Locate:Crawl issues,URL Audittab.
3. Canonical tags and indexability
- External,Self,&Missing canonical— In the Canonicals button;looking to combine duplicate content.
- Canonical conflicts— when you notice a page X pointing itself as Y,what is wrong with it?
- Indexable vs non-indexable— Locating the URLs indexed by search engines considering noindex,robots,and canonicals.
Locate:Canonicals,Robots,Indexability view,Reports → Canonical Report,Indexability Report.
4. On-page:title,meta,H1,content
- Title tag— According to SEO White Hat practices,analyze duplicate,length,missing (make it descriptive,meaningful).
- Meta description— Impacting CTR,analyzing length,duplicate,and missing.
- H1 / H2— Adding at least one H1 per page,analyzing duplicate heading,structure,&content hierarchy.
- Word count,thin content— In the Content tab,analyzing "thin" pages.
Locate:Titles,Meta,H1,H2,Contenttabs;Reports → Duplicate Content Report.
5. Crawlability and site structure
- Crawl depth— Measuring how many clicks a page away from the homepage = depth 0,next level = 1,…;analyzing the pages depth and its impact on crawl budget.
- Discovery— analyzing how the Spider mode find new URLs,the page discovers through redirects,internal links or XML sitemap.
- Orphan pages— these pages have no internal links;KWT Spider discovers orphan pages in Crawl Analysis.
Locate:Crawl Depththen,Crawl Depth Chart,Crawl Analysis → Pages without Inlinks.
6. Internal linking Analysis
- Inlinks / outlinks— Connecting several pages with a page to develop interlinks;key pages must have higher interlinks. Similarly,a page linking to several internal pages develop outlinks to balance interlinking.

Location:Internal Links,Crawl Analysis → Pages Without Inlinks,Bulk Export → Internal URLs.
7. Robots,nofollow,sitemaps

- Meta robots,x-robots-tag— index/noindex (allow or prevent pages from featuring in search results),follow/nofollow per page (allow or prevent search engines to follow links).
- Sitemaps— Sitemap tab (display sitemap URLs during the crawl) and Sitemap Tester fetching the sitemap file.
Location:Robotstab,Sitemapstab,Tools → Robots Tester,Sitemap Tester.
8. Images,schema,pagination,security
- Images— alt text (allow search engines to understand the image for SEO),broken images (waste crawl resources),and image size (prevent page speed and SEO ranking).
- Schema— structured data detected per URL to help search engines understand the page information.
- Pagination— next/prev,canonical to show relationships between paginated pages and handling duplicate pagination URLs.
- Security / mixed content— HTTPS for achieving security and ranking benefits and mixed content hints can breach security.
Locating:Images,Schema,Pagination,Page Speed / Securitytabs.
9. Migration and before/after
- Compare two crawls(analysis of two different site crawl reports for before and after changes) — Comparison of projects:added,removed or changed URLs.
- Redirect mapping— Analyzing how old URLs redirected to new URLs during migration.
Locating in the tool:Crawl Analysis → Compare Projects,HTTP Status (redirects,final URL).
10. Reporting and prioritisation
- Issue list— Taking Crawl help to define issues and Fix Plan.
- Export— CSV/Excel/HTML report;presenting in front of the client.
Locating the feature:Report sidebar (Crawl Issues,Fix Plan),Export Issues Report,Generate HTML Report.
How does the tool help you learn SEO?
1. Explanation with Real data Instead of Theory
Real data provides experience. So the tool provides you with real URLs,real status codes,and real duplicate titles. Unlike you read only "fix canonicals" from books,the tool provides you with conflicting canonicals directly in the report. You will learn to fix actual issues.
2. Each Section Focus on a Specific Module
Each tab like HTTP Status (learn redirects) and Titles tab (on-page title audit) to let you become a master in a specific topic at a time.
3. Crawl the Same URL and Experiment
The process goes like crawling a site,discover issues,fix issues,crawl once more and then compare the two crawls to identify changes.
4. Built-in Features — Testing One URL at a Time
Features like URL Inspector,Redirect Checker,Robots Tester and Sitemap Tester help you become expert in technical SEO.
5. Reports &Export – Understand and Deliver
Whatever you have gained through learning will turn into reports like charts,issue lists,and prioritisation. It provides exposure to real-time world.

Step by Step Process
We recommend you getting proficient in one topic before jumping to the next.

Step 2 — On-page:titles,meta,H1
- Titles button for analysis of duplicate,length,and missing information.
- Analyze Meta,H1 and H2.
- Access Reports and then Duplicate Content Report.
Step 3 — Canonicals and indexability
- Press Canonicals tab:missing vs external vs self,determine conflicts.
- Robots tab:index/noindex.
- Reports → Indexability Report,Indexability Chart.
Step 4 — Structure:depth,orphans
- Use the Crawl Depth column to assess depth.
- Crawl Depth Chart.
- Crawl Analysis and Pages With No Inlinks.
Step 5 — Export and report
- Generate report (CSV or HTML).
- Charts → PNG export.
Step 6 — Compare (optional,for migration)
- Crawl two different projects to analyze differences.
- Crawl Analysis → Compare Projects;review added/removed/changed URLs.
