Sites with many pages can be difficult to visually inspect. The best option is to automatically upload screenshots of all pages for further analysis. Let's look at how to quickly complete this process using the Screaming Frog program.
By default, Screaming Frog does not collect screenshots, but this can be configured. To do this, go to the Configuration (Crawl Config) section in the top menu and select the Spider option.
In the window that appears, go to the Rendering tab. The default option here is Text Only, but you need to select JavaScript to render pages with JavaScript content.
After that, check all the necessary boxes and configure the AJAX Timeout parameter. Next, select the device screen size you need for screenshots.
There are several options for screenshots that fit different screen sizes.
Now go to the Mode menu and select the desired mode: Spider or List. The second option allows you to process pages faster, so it can be used for more rapid analysis.
Click the Upload button on the top line and select the Search Manual option. Paste the links to the pages you want to take screenshots of and click Next and then OK. The scanning process will begin using the specified links. Please note that with rendering enabled the process will take a little longer. For example, for 5 pages it may take 1-2 minutes.
After scanning is completed, the links will appear in the program window. Go to the Bulk Export menu and select the Web option. Then select Screenshots to save screenshots of pages to a folder on your device.
Now you can view the saved screenshots in the folder where they will be stored in the format of your choice, which was specified in the program settings before downloading.
In addition, you can choose a different screen format for downloading screenshots. In addition to mobile devices, options are available for laptops, tablets and other devices. The procedure in this case remains the same.
Viewing screenshots allows you to effectively identify problems and shortcomings on website pages, which makes it possible to quickly transfer them to developers for correction.
