SiteCrawler Movements Report

Updated over a year ago

πŸ“˜ This article describes the Movements report in SiteCrawler, part of Botify's Analytics Suite, available with all Botify plans.

Overview

The Movements report appears after the second crawl in a project. It compares the scope of the current analysis to the previous analysis, showing how many new URLs were found, how many disappeared, how many still exist, and of those, the key changes detected.
