One of the most common questions SEOs ask is: "How do I get Screaming Frog to crawl pages that require a login?"

By default, Screaming Frog sees the login page. It doesn’t know your username or password. But with a few configuration tweaks, you can crawl authenticated pages (dashboards, member areas, gated content) just like Googlebot would—if Google had credentials.
