  • Vary
  • Content-Encoding

Status code and request tracking

Although the Network tab contains the detailed information of the web requests, this tab includes a summary section that allows you to quickly consult the status codes resulting from the succession of requests processed, as well as all the URLs that the browser has passed through since the user's initial request to the page.

Status code

By default, you can simply see the status codes, but if you click on them, the section expands to show the URLs corresponding to each request.

Robots directive

Perseo identifies robots directives set using tags or HTTP headers as well. In addition, it not only detects generic robots directives, but also those targeted to specific crawlers. In the latter case, only the main crawlers are supported (googlebot, bingbot, duckduckbot, baiduspider, yandex).

Robots meta tag and X-Robots-Tag

Support for duplicate tags

If there are duplicate tags, Perseo displays the first one by default, however, it will detect all of them and you will be able to consult them by clicking on the corresponding tag.

Hreflang link tags

Perseo identifies the hreflang tags included in the page and displays them in a structured way. In addition, it highlights differently the tag pointing to the page itself. Note that Perseo only supports detection of hreflang tags in HTML code, not as HTTP headers.

Sitemaps XML detection

If the location of the sitemaps has been reported via robots.txt file, Perseo is able to recursively crawl both indexes and sitemaps, count their URLs and generate with this information a handy summary that will allow you to get a quick idea of how they are structured and detect possible problems. Please note that Perseo only supports crawling sitemaps in uncompressed XML format.
