What is Screaming Frog?
Screaming Frog is the creator behind the Screaming Frog SEO Spider software – a popular web crawling tool.
This tool is helpful for a variety of purposes in the realm of SEO and website optimization, including SEO auditing, site structure analysis, content analysis, competitor analysis, XML sitemap generation, performance insights, integration with other tools, and more.
Why residential proxies?
Residential proxies enhance SEO Spider by providing real household IP addresses, reducing the risk of being flagged or blocked by websites. This ensures reliable, uninterrupted website crawling, even on sites with strict security measures or anti-scraping technology.
Proxies allow SEO professionals to analyze websites from various geolocations, enabling precise assessment of search engine rankings, localized content, and regional competitor analysis.

Getting Decodo proxies
You can integrate any kind of proxy with Screaming Frog SEO Spider. The best type depends on your use case. We recommend residential proxies because they’re so versatile, but you can opt for datacenter, mobile, ISP, or other proxies.
- Create a Decodo account on our dashboard.
- After that, find residential proxies by choosing Residential under the Residential Proxies column on the left panel, and purchase the plan that best suits your needs.
- Once equipped with a residential proxy plan, go to the Proxy setup tab, create a user, and copy the authentication credentials for later use: username, password, IP address, and port.
Heading over to the app
- Download and install the Screaming Frog SEO Spider application.
2. Open the application. You can buy a license or enter your license key by choosing Buy Licence or Enter Licence from the Licence menu at the top. Alternatively, you can use the free version, but it has certain limitations
3. Next, let’s integrate our proxies. On macOS, navigate to Screaming Frog SEO Spider > Settings > Proxy. On Windows and Linux, it’s File > Settings > Proxy.
4. Mark the checkbox Use Proxy Server and enter the address and port of your proxy server. Then, click OK and Restart.
5. Once the application restarts and you try to crawl a URL at the top of the window, you’ll be prompted to enter the proxy authentication details. Type in your username and password, and click OK.
6. Screaming Frog will now crawl the entered URL using proxies, bypassing any hindrances like blocks or delays!

Frequently asked questions
What is Screaming Frog?

What is Screaming Frog used for?

What is a residential proxy?
When traffic moves through a residential proxy, it doesn't leave your machine and hit the destination directly – it's relayed by a node sitting on a real household's broadband line, so the site on the other end logs that household's ISP-assigned IP instead of yours. Because the address belongs to a genuine consumer connection rather than a cloud subnet, the request blends into ordinary home traffic and rarely trips the heuristics that anti-bot systems use to spot automated tools.
