How to Check Duplicate Content Using Screaming Frog

Use this interactive demo to learn how to find duplicate content across your site with Screaming Frog.

Quick summary

Screaming Frog lets you detect duplicate content by crawling your site and filtering results by Exact Duplicates or Near Duplicates in the Content tab. This step-by-step process helps SEOs quickly identify pages with identical or similar content that could harm search rankings.


Steps

  1. Start a new crawl by entering your website URL in the top bar and clicking 'Start'.
  2. Once the crawl is complete, click the Content tab at the top of the interface.
  3. Open the filter dropdown and select 'Exact Duplicates' to view pages sharing the same content hash.
  4. Enable 'Near Duplicates' to detect pages with similar but not identical content across your site.

📌 Why this matters

Duplicate content is one of the most common technical SEO issues, causing search engines to split ranking signals across multiple pages and reducing overall organic visibility. Screaming Frog's built-in duplicate content detection — covering both Exact Duplicates and Near Duplicates — gives SEOs a fast, reliable way to audit an entire site in a single crawl. By identifying and resolving duplicate pages, teams can consolidate link equity, improve crawl efficiency, and protect their site's search rankings. This workflow is essential for any SEO audit, site migration, or ongoing content quality check.
