Which Version Should I Use?
Use Standard when:
- you are testing a small site;
- you want a cautious first crawl;
- you do not need concurrent rendered workers;
- you are learning the app.
Use Pro when:
- you crawl larger sites regularly;
- you have permission to crawl at a higher request rate;
- you want Balanced or Fast mode;
- you need to reduce crawl time on sites that can safely handle more requests.
Notes About Adverts
The free app is funded through adverts and product messages. The current application can display London Web Factory managed messages in the splash screen and status bar. Registration currently unlocks speed modes; it does not change every advertising or message surface unless a later release says otherwise.
