Find the issue before it costs a template's worth of pages.

Surgbly crawls priority pages, groups issues by template instead of by URL, and turns each one into a reviewable Fix Pack — so 18,000 product pages missing the same tag show up as one finding, not 18,000.

Findings are grouped by template and URL pattern, so large sites don't get thousands of duplicate recommendations.

One issue, but thousands of pages hiding it.

A generic crawler dumps every problem as its own row. On a large site, that's thousands of duplicate findings for what's really one broken template.

Duplicate findings, for real duplicates

The same missing tag on 18,000 product pages shouldn’t be 18,000 separate recommendations.

Redirect chains, invisible

A page that redirects three times before landing loses authority nobody notices until rankings slide.

Raw vs. rendered, unchecked

Content a browser renders isn’t always the content a crawler receives.

Mobile issues, buried

Tap targets, viewport, and content parity problems rarely get checked separately from desktop.

How this feature works

From a full crawl to one grouped, reviewable finding.

01

Crawl priority pages

Surgbly crawls priority pages and representative templates, extracting status codes, canonical, robots, titles, headings, schema, and rendered vs. raw HTML.

Group by template

Duplicate issues are grouped by template or URL pattern instead of flooding the queue with one row per page.

Check indexability and redirects

HTTP status, redirect chains, canonical targets, robots meta, and sitemap inclusion for every crawled URL.

  • Each hop drops crawl budget and link equity.
  • Sitemap still lists the original, redirected URL.
04

Compare raw vs. rendered

Detect content, links, or schema that only exist after JavaScript renders — invisible to some crawlers even though a browser shows it fine.

Route to Fix Pack or brief

Low-risk template fixes become Fix Packs. Redirects, canonical changes, and URL changes stay recommendation-only for human approval.

Business outcomes

What changes once issues are grouped by cause.

One finding, not thousands

A broken template shows up as one grouped issue, not a duplicate row for every affected page.

Redirect problems caught early

Multi-hop chains and stale sitemap entries surface before they compound.

Know what crawlers actually see

Raw vs. rendered comparison shows content gaps a browser view would never reveal.

Safe fixes ship without waiting

Low-risk template fixes deploy on their own timeline — high-risk changes always wait for approval.

Why Surgbly does it better

A grouped finding instead of a 10,000-row spreadsheet.

Traditional

  1. 1Crawl the whole site with a generic tool.
  2. 2Export a spreadsheet of thousands of rows.
  3. 3Manually group duplicates by hand.
  4. 4Still not sure what’s safe to fix without a developer.

Surgbly

  1. 1Crawl priority pages and representative templates.
  2. 2Group duplicate issues automatically by template.
  3. 3Separate low-risk fixes from high-risk changes.
  4. 4Ship the safe ones, route the rest for approval.

Questions

Answers before you have to ask.

How can a technical fix be delivered?

Choose CMS, GitHub, or Snippet. CMS updates supported provider fields, GitHub opens a validated repository pull request, and Snippet publishes an approved allowlisted artifact. The selected surface controls its own verification and rollback path.

How does this handle very large sites?

Issues are grouped by template and URL pattern, so a 100,000-page catalog doesn’t generate 100,000 recommendations.

What gets fixed automatically vs. recommended only?

Metadata, alt text, and other low-risk template fixes can ship as Fix Packs. Redirects, canonical changes, and URL changes always need human approval.

Does this replace a full crawler like Screaming Frog?

No. Surgbly focuses on priority pages and templates tied to business value, not exhaustive site crawling.

How is raw vs. rendered checked?

Surgbly compares the initial HTML response against the rendered DOM to find content, links, or schema that only appear after JavaScript runs.
