Security Tab in Screaming Frog SEO Spider

๐Ÿ“Œ Purpose:

Ye tab aapki website ke security-related SEO factors ko analyze karta hai — jisme mainly HTTPS implementation, mixed content, aur insecure URLs detect kiye jaate hain.


๐Ÿ”Ž Security Tab Me Kya-Kya Check Hota Hai?

1. Protocol (HTTP ya HTTPS)

  • Screaming Frog check karta hai ki page HTTPS pe open ho raha hai ya abhi bhi HTTP pe hai.

  • Google ne clear kar diya hai ki HTTPS ek ranking signal hai — isliye har page HTTPS pe hona chahiye.

๐Ÿ”ง Example:
http://example.com/about
https://example.com/about


2. Mixed Content Detection

  • Jab koi HTTPS page ke andar HTTP image, script ya iframe hota hai, toh usse mixed content kehte hain.

  • Isse browser warning deta hai: "This site is not fully secure".

๐Ÿ”ง Example:
https://example.com/page
Lekin usi page me:
<img src="http://example.com/logo.png"> ❌ (mixed content)


3. Redirects: HTTP → HTTPS

  • Security tab check karta hai ki agar koi user HTTP version pe aaye, toh kya wo properly HTTPS pe redirect ho raha hai ya nahi.

  • Ye redirect agar missing ya broken ho toh SEO me duplicate URL aur crawl problem hoti hai.

๐Ÿ”ง Example:
http://example.com → ❌ Not redirected → SEO issue
http://example.com → ✅ Redirected to https://example.com → OK


๐Ÿง  SEO & Technical Use Cases:

๐Ÿงช Kaise Analyze Kare Security Tab Me:

  1. Screaming Frog crawl complete hone ke baad Security Tab pe click karein.

  2. Filter karein:

    • Insecure Content (Mixed content detect)

    • Non-secure Pages (HTTP)

  3. Column-wise dekhein:

    • Protocol

    • Status Code (e.g. 301 if redirected)

    • Canonical URL (should also be HTTPS)

    • Indexability (HTTP pages mostly non-indexable hone chahiye)


๐Ÿ“ค Export Option:

Aap Security > Export karke full list download kar sakte ho jisme insecure URLs aur mixed content list hota hai — isse developer ya SEO team ko diya ja sakta hai for fixing.


✅ Summary – 3 Key Points:

  1. Secure Protocol Check – Ensure sabhi pages HTTPS pe hain, HTTP version redirect ho raha hai.

  2. Mixed Content Detection – HTTPS pages me HTTP images/scripts avoid karo.

  3. Security for SEO – HTTPS implementation directly Google ranking me effect karta hai, so ye tab extremely useful hai SEO audit me.
