Desktop Application

Learn how to use the RapidRabbit desktop app to create sessions, crawl websites, and analyze SEO and content issues.

Creating Sessions

Sessions are the foundation of your website audits in RapidRabbit. Each session represents a complete analysis of a website.

Creating a New Session

  1. Click the 'New Session' button in the main toolbar
  2. Enter the target website URL (e.g., https://example.com)
  3. Optionally, add a session name for easy identification
  4. Configure crawl settings as needed
  5. Click 'Create' to initialize the session

Session Properties

  • URL: The starting point for the crawl
  • Name: A friendly name for the session
  • Created: Timestamp of when the session was created
  • Status: Current state (pending, running, completed)

Crawl Settings

Configure how RapidRabbit crawls websites to optimize for your specific needs.

Available Settings

  • Max Pages: Limit the number of pages to crawl (default: 100)
  • Crawl Depth: How many levels deep to follow links
  • Request Delay: Time between requests to avoid overwhelming servers
  • Screenshots: Enable automatic page screenshots during crawls
  • Follow External Links: Whether to include links to other domains

Recommended Settings

For most websites, the default settings work well. For larger sites, consider increasing the max pages limit. For rate-limited servers, increase the request delay.
