InterroBot Help
InterroBot help docs, covering beginner to advanced usage.
InterroBot combines a desktop web crawler with powerful search capabilities to help you understand and maintain your website. Whether you're tracking down technical issues, optimizing for search engines, or managing content at scale, these guides will get you up to speed.
For SEO Specialists
Search engines view your site through the lens of links and structure. Google has stated that internal link structure is a critical ranking factor, which means broken links and redirect chains can quietly drain your organic traffic. Start with Finding Broken Links to audit your site's health, then use Advanced Search to filter by status codes, identify redirect patterns, and surface indexing issues. The Keyword Cannibalization plugin helps you spot pages competing for the same search terms, a common issue that dilutes ranking potential.
For Web Developers
Modern web development means managing complexity across frameworks, assets, and deployment pipelines. InterroBot gives you the x-ray vision you need to see what's actually being served. Begin with Getting Started to set up your first crawl, then explore Crawler Options for JavaScript rendering, custom headers, and authentication. The Webpages and Assets guide shows you how to inspect HTTP response details and trace asset dependencies. For advanced users, API and Plugin Development opens up automation and custom analysis workflows.
For CMS Administrators
Managing content across hundreds or thousands of pages means you need search that works. Research shows that knowledge workers spend up to 30% of their time searching for information, time that could be spent creating value instead of hunting down files. InterroBot's Full-text Search indexes HTML, PDF, and DOCX content across your entire site, so you can locate references, verify updates, and respond to user reports quickly. The AI Data Access guide explains how to export filtered content for use with ChatGPT, Claude, and other AI tools. Don't forget the Spell Check and International Spell Check plugins to catch typos before they reach your audience.
