Make a molehill out of the SEO mountain.
Molehill is a desktop SEO spider and audit tool. Point it at a website and it crawls every page, digs out the technical issues holding your search rankings back, and presents them as a list of jobs — not a wall of jargon.
Most sites leak search traffic quietly.
Broken links, missing titles, duplicate descriptions, redirect chains, orphaned pages — none of it is visible from the browser, and all of it costs rankings. The established audit tools do the job but come with enterprise interfaces and subscription pricing to match. Molehill takes a simpler view: crawl the site, surface what matters, tell you what to fix.
Built because the alternatives try too hard.
Molehill was developed with a simple brief: an easy-to-use SEO and project tool that doesn't drown you in enterprise complexity — paired with an AI recommendation engine that turns crawl data into plain-English advice, powered through your own API key. Most audit tools are built for full-time SEO professionals; Molehill is built for people with websites and better things to do.
Crawl. Diagnose. Fix. Migrate.
Full-site crawling
A fast spider that walks your entire site the way search engines do — pages, links, redirects, images and metadata — and turns what it finds into a clear audit.
Technical SEO audit
Broken links, redirect chains, missing or duplicate titles and descriptions, thin pages and more — prioritised as a to-do list rather than a data dump.
Site-migration planning
Moving or rebuilding a site? Molehill maps the redirects you'll need from old URLs to new — the step that, skipped, torches years of accumulated rankings.
Content planning from real data
Import your Google Analytics and Search Console exports and Molehill shows which old pages earn their place on the new site — and which have no traffic to lose.
AI-assisted insights
Bring your own API key and Molehill puts AI to work on your crawl — explaining issues and suggesting fixes in plain English. Your key, your data, your control.
Try before you buy
A free demo version anyone can download, and a single straightforward paid licence — no tier tables, no per-seat arithmetic.
Under the bonnet.
Simple to use doesn't mean shallow. Here's what's actually in the current build.
Crawling
- Polite, configurable crawler: concurrency and rate limiting with a hard 10 requests/second ceiling, robots.txt and Crawl-delay respected, automatic backoff and retries, sitemap.xml discovery
- Pause, resume and stop — crawl state is saved, so a paused project picks up where it left off even after closing the app
- Built for big sites: crawls spill to disk past 50,000 URLs rather than eating your RAM
- Optional JavaScript rendering, with pre-JS vs post-JS comparison — see exactly what search engines miss before scripts run
- Bot-protection detection: knows when Cloudflare and friends blocked the crawl, and says so instead of reporting garbage
Analysis
- Full SEO rules engine: titles, metas and H1s, canonicals, noindex-in-sitemap, mixed content, broken external links, redirect chains, hreflang validation with return-link checks, duplicate content, JSON-LD structured-data validation, thin content and JavaScript-dependency warnings
- AI-readiness audit — how AI crawlers see your site — plus technology fingerprinting (CMS, CDN, frameworks)
- Dashboard that summarises site health and what to fix first; site tree view; issues grid; before/after comparison of two crawls
- Pages grid covering status, indexability, load time, page size, word count, alt-text gaps, H1s, hreflang and schema — with exception-based colour coding so problems stand out
Migration toolkit
- Old-site to new-site redirect mapper with editable, human-confirmable mappings
- AI-assisted matching for the leftovers a rule can't catch
- Redirect rule validation: loops, chains and self-redirects caught before they go live
- Traffic-data import, so pages are prioritised by what they actually earn
- Client-ready XLSX export of the whole mapping
AI action plan & output
- Bring your own Anthropic API key — stored encrypted, never shared — and turn a crawl into a prioritised, plain-English to-do list
- CSV exports for pages, issues, redirects and links, with dated filenames
- Save and reopen projects; built-in user manual one keypress away (F1)
Site owners, developers and agencies.
Molehill suits anyone responsible for a website's health: small business owners who want to know why they don't rank, developers handing over a rebuilt site, and agencies running audits for clients. If you've ever been quoted a four-figure sum for an "SEO audit" that turned out to be a PDF of screenshots, Molehill is for you.
Like Sputnik and FurryPeeps, Molehill is built with agentic development — the third product in a row, and the proof the approach repeats.
