View productsProfessional Sitemap Generator & SEO Crawler
A professional-grade desktop application for web developers, SEO specialists, and digital marketers. Built as a high-performance crawling engine, it automates website structure discovery to generate search engine-compliant XML, HTML, JSON, and TXT sitemaps.
Free — no account, no cloud processing, no telemetry. Every crawl runs entirely on your machine.
Core features
Most crawlers see only static HTML. SiteDirective uses a real browser rendering engine to execute JavaScript, wait for dynamic content to load, and discover URLs that only appear after client-side hydration. Single-page applications, React, Vue, Angular — all fully indexed.
Export sitemaps in every format search engines accept. XML for Google and Bing submission, HTML for human-readable site maps, JSON for API-driven workflows, and plain TXT for lightweight indexing. All generated locally from live crawl data.
Build, preview and validate robots.txt files with a visual rule editor. Define user-agent directives, allow/disallow patterns, crawl-delay values and sitemap references. Test rules against your crawled URL set before deploying.
Set exactly how deep the crawler goes — from a single landing page (depth 1) to a full site traversal (depth 10). Combine with URL pattern filters to scope crawls precisely. Throttle request rate to respect server resources and avoid rate limiting.
SEO analysis
Every internal and external link is checked during the crawl. Dead links are flagged with their source page, anchor text and HTTP status code. Export the full report to prioritise fixes before they hurt your search rankings.
Scan every crawled page for missing, duplicate or truncated title tags and meta descriptions. Identify pages with no H1 heading, multiple H1s, or missing canonical URLs. Colour-coded severity makes triage fast.
Pages with excessive response times, oversized payloads or slow server responses are flagged automatically. Identify the pages dragging down your Core Web Vitals before Google does it for you.
Every crawl runs on your machine. Crawled data, sitemaps, audit reports and robots.txt files are stored locally and never transmitted. No analytics, no crash reports, no cloud relay. Verify with any network monitor.

Quick start
Download from Microsoft Store or itch.io. Run the installer — no administrator privileges required for standard installs. No account creation, no activation key.
Enter the root URL. Set crawl depth (1–10), enable or disable JS rendering, configure request throttle and add URL include/exclude patterns to scope the crawl.
SiteDirective discovers URLs, renders JavaScript, checks every link and audits metadata. Review the results table — status codes, response times, titles, SEO flags — all in real time.
Generate sitemaps in XML, HTML, JSON or TXT. Build a robots.txt with the visual architect. Export audit reports as CSV. Everything saves locally — upload to your server when ready.

Security model
SiteDirective makes outbound HTTP requests to the websites you choose to crawl — that is its function. It makes zero other network connections. No analytics endpoint, no crash reporter, no licence verification server, no "improve this product" telemetry. The crawled data, generated sitemaps, audit reports and robots.txt files are written to your local filesystem and exist nowhere else. Verify with Wireshark, Fiddler, GlassWire or your firewall logs.
