Three differences you can see

Redirects suggested for broken pages

For each URL that returns 404 or 410, PerfBee suggests a live page with the same or a similar name, or the parent folder, and says why. Where nothing fits, it says a target is still needed. Download the checked list as a redirect file (Starter and up).

Redirects: 23 old URLs, 18 ready to download, each with how many links point to it and a suggested new address with the reason.

A cloud crawler firewalls can verify

PerfBee crawls from its own servers as PerfBeeBot: a named user agent, one published IP address and signed requests. When a firewall still blocks a page, it is marked not checked instead of broken, and it is not billed.

Not checked, by reason: 2 pages access denied and 1 rate limited. The crawler could not read them, so they are not counted as broken and were not billed.

One page list across crawls

Site Pages keeps every URL your crawls of a site found in one list, with its status, indexability and issues. Filter by folder, see the pages that went missing, and open any page for its details.

Site Pages filtered to /products/: 1,694 of 1,813 pages, with chips for OK, broken, deep and unlinked pages, and each page’s status, indexability and issues.

Questions

Does PerfBee suggest redirect targets?

Yes. For each 404 or 410 it suggests a live page with the same or a similar name, or the parent folder, and says why. You check the list and download it as a redirect file (Starter and up).

Does PerfBee have an API?

Yes. A REST API and signed webhooks, on every plan, and an MCP server so Claude or ChatGPT can read your crawls.

Can I try PerfBee for free?

Yes. The Free plan includes the Site Crawler and needs no card. A fast crawl uses 1 credit a page, a detailed one 2.

Does PerfBee follow robots.txt?

Yes. PerfBeeBot follows robots.txt, waits as long as Crawl-delay asks (up to 10 seconds) and never gets around bot protection.
