pop-spider
==========

[](#pop-spider)

`pop-spider` is a simple CLI-driven web spider for SEO analysis that uses components from the Pop PHP Framework. It parses SEO-pertinent data from a website and produces a HTML-based report of what was parsed as well as an sitemap.xml file.

RELEASE INFORMATION

OVERVIEW
--------

[](#overview)

By default, the spider parses the following elements and their SEO-pertinent attributes:

- title
- meta
    - name
    - content
- a
    - href
    - title
    - rel
    - name
    - value
- img
    - src
    - title
    - alt
- h1
- h2
- h3

You can parse additional tags via the `--tags=` option.

```
$ ./spider help                                                 Display this help screen.
$ ./spider crawl [--dir=] [--tags=] [--speed=] [--save]    Crawl the URL.

The optional [--dir=] parameter allows you to set the output directory for the results report.
The optional [--tags=] parameter allows you to set additional tags to scan for in a comma-separated list.
The optional [--speed=] parameter will throttle the speed between each request in seconds.
The optional [--save] parameter will save the site files into a directory

Example:

$ ./spider crawl --dir=seo-report --tags=b,u --speed=5 --save http://www.mydomain.com/

```
