This document describes the structure and content of the JSON output file generated by the SiteOne Crawler. This JSON file contains detailed information about the crawled website, including metadata about the crawl process, results for each visited URL, quality scores, summary findings, and various analysis tables.
## 1. Introduction
The JSON output provides a comprehensive dataset about the crawled website. Key information includes:
* **Crawl Metadata:** Details about the crawler execution, such as version, execution time, command used, hostname, and the final user agent.
* **Options:** A complete record of all CLI configuration values used for the crawl.
* **Quality Scores:** Overall and per-category quality scores (0-10) with deduction details.
* **Visited URL Results:** For each URL visited during the crawl:
* URL address
* HTTP status code
* Elapsed time for the request (performance)
* Size of the response body
* Content type (HTML, CSS, JS, Image, etc.)
* Caching information (cache flags, lifetime)
* Additional analysis results stored in the `extras` field.
* **Stats:** Aggregate statistics about the crawl (total URLs, sizes, timings, status code counts).
* **Summary:** A list of findings (OK, Warning, Critical, Info) that feed into quality scoring.
* **Analysis Tables:** Aggregated data and specific findings presented in structured tables:
* **Skipped URLs:** Reasons why certain URLs were not crawled (e.g., external domain, disallowed by robots.txt, specific rules).
* **Redirects:** List of URLs that resulted in redirects (3xx status codes).
* **404 Errors:** List of URLs that resulted in a 404 Not Found status.
* **SSL/TLS Info:** Details about the website's SSL certificate (issuer, subject, validity dates, supported protocols).
* **Performance:** Tables listing the fastest and slowest URLs encountered during the crawl.
* **SEO & Content:**
* SEO metadata (title, description, keywords, H1, indexing directives) for HTML pages.
* OpenGraph and Twitter Card metadata.
* Heading structure analysis (correctness of H1-H6 hierarchy).
* Analysis of non-unique titles and descriptions across pages.
* **Technical Details:**
* HTTP Headers: Summary of headers found, their occurrences, and unique values.
* Caching Analysis: Breakdown of caching strategies by content type and domain.
* DNS Information: DNS resolution details for the target domain.
* Security Analysis: Evaluation of security-related HTTP headers.
* External URLs: List of external URLs discovered during the crawl.
* **Crawler Statistics:** Performance metrics for the crawler itself, individual analyzers, and content processors.
## 2. Potential Use Cases
The detailed data within the JSON output enables a wide variety of use cases:
1. **Comprehensive SEO Audits:** Analyze titles, descriptions, heading structures, indexing status, and OpenGraph tags across the entire site.
2. **Performance Monitoring & Optimization:** Identify the slowest pages and resources, analyze load times, and check caching headers.
3. **Broken Link Checking:** Easily extract lists of all 404 errors and the pages where they were found.
4. **Redirect Chain Analysis:** Identify and analyze redirect chains.
5. **Security Header Audits:** Verify the implementation of crucial security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, etc.) across the site.
6. **Content Inventory & Analysis:** Get a list of all crawled resources, their types, sizes, and status codes. Analyze content type distribution.
7. **Website Archiving/Cloning:** While the crawler has a dedicated offline export, the JSON contains the list of all discovered resources, which could inform a custom archiving process.
8. **Competitive Analysis:** Run the crawler on competitor sites (respecting their `robots.txt`) to gather insights into their structure, performance, and technology.
9. **CI/CD Integration:** Integrate the crawler into deployment pipelines to automatically check for new errors (404s, performance regressions) after deployments. Use quality scores and thresholds for automated pass/fail decisions.
10. **Technical Debt Assessment:** Identify outdated practices, missing security headers, or performance issues that need addressing.
## 3. Detailed JSON Structure
The JSON output has 8 top-level keys:
### 3.1. `crawler` (Object)
Contains metadata about the crawler execution:
* `name` (String): Name of the crawler software.
* `version` (String): Version of the crawler.
* `executedAt` (String): Timestamp when the crawl was executed, in the format `"YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS"` (space separator, no timezone). Example: `"2026-03-16 14:55:13"`.
* `command` (String): The command-line arguments used to run the crawl.
* `hostname` (String): The hostname where the crawler was run.
* `finalUserAgent` (String): The User-Agent string used for the HTTP requests.
### 3.2. `extraColumnsFromAnalysis` (Array)
An array of objects defining extra columns that might be added during specific analyses. These are primarily intended for augmenting report outputs. Each object contains:
* `name` (String): The display name of the column.
* `length` (Integer): Suggested display length/width.
* `truncate` (Boolean): Whether the content should be truncated if it exceeds the length.
* `customMethod`, `customPattern`, `customGroup`: Fields used for custom data extraction logic (null when not configured).
### 3.3. `options` (Object)
A flat object containing all 132 CLI configuration values used for the crawl. Every option from the command line (or its default value) is recorded here. Keys are the option names in camelCase (e.g., `url`, `workers`, `maxReqsPerSec`, `timeout`, `outputType`, `userAgent`, `acceptEncoding`, etc.). Values are strings, integers, booleans, or null, depending on the option type.
This is useful for reproducing a crawl or understanding the exact configuration that produced the results.
### 3.4. `qualityScores` (Object)
Contains overall and per-category quality scores computed after analysis.
* `overall` (Object): The aggregate quality score.
* `score` (Float): Overall score from 0.0 to 10.0.

* `totalRequestsTimesMin` (Float): Minimum request time in seconds.
* `totalRequestsTimesMax` (Float): Maximum request time in seconds.
* `totalRequestsTimesP90` (Float): 90th-percentile response time of HTML documents in seconds (a fairer "what users feel" proxy than the all-asset average; falls back to all URLs if no HTML pages).
* `countByStatus` (Object): An object mapping HTTP status codes to counts. Keys are status code strings (e.g., `"200"`, `"404"`, `"429"`), values are integers. Only status codes that were actually encountered appear as keys.
### 3.7. `summary` (Object)

* `text` (String): Human-readable description of the finding (e.g., `"Brotli is supported for HTML"`, `"1 URL(s) returned a 404 status code"`).
### 3.8. `tables` (Object)
An object where each key is a table identifier (e.g., `skipped-summary`, `404`, `seo`) and the value is an object describing that table. Each table object contains:
* `aplCode` (String): A unique code for the table.
* `title` (String): A human-readable title for the table.

* `aplCode` (String): Unique code for the column.
* `name` (String): Display name for the column header.
* `width` (Integer): Suggested display width (-1 might mean auto).
* `formatter` (Object | null): Defines how the data should be formatted (e.g., adding units like 'ms' or 'kB'). Empty object `{}` indicates default formatting.
* `renderer` (Object | null): Defines how the data should be rendered (e.g., adding color or links). Empty object `{}` indicates default rendering.
* `truncateIfLonger` (Boolean): Whether to truncate the value if it exceeds the width.
* Other fields like `formatterWillChangeValueLength`, `nonBreakingSpaces`, `escapeOutputHtml`, `getDataValueCallback`, `forcedDataType` provide more hints for rendering.
* `rows` (Array): An array of objects, where each object represents a row in the table. The keys in each row object correspond to the column identifiers defined in `columns`. **Important: All values in all table rows are strings**, regardless of whether the data represents a number, count, or other type. For example, a count of `51` appears as `"51"`, a request time of `0.003` appears as `"0.003"`, and an empty value appears as `""`. Rows may also contain extra keys beyond the declared columns (see individual table descriptions for details).
* `position` (String): A hint about where this table should typically be positioned in a report (e.g., `before-url-table`, `after-url-table`).
**Note:** The specific content and structure within `tables` depend on the analyzers enabled during the crawl. The set of tables may vary depending on what data was encountered (e.g., `certificate-info` only appears for HTTPS sites).

## 5. Analysis Tables Description (`tables` key)
This section details the structure and columns of each table found under the `tables` key in the JSON output.
**Important note on data types:** All values in all table rows are **strings**. Numeric values such as counts, times, and sizes are serialized as strings (e.g., `"51"` not `51`, `"0.003"` not `0.003`). Empty values appear as `""`. This applies to every table described below. Where column descriptions say "count" or "time", the value is still a string representation of that number.
