scry

A fast, thorough website auditor for your terminal. 94 checks. 11 categories. One command.

Quick Start

Install scry:

# Homebrew
brew install meysam81/tap/scry

# Go
go install github.com/meysam81/scry@latest

Or grab a pre-built binary for your platform.

Run your first audit:

scry crawl https://example.com

That's it. You'll get a colorized terminal report with a site health score, categorized issues, and actionable recommendations.

Why Scry

For SEO professionals

• 94 audit checks across SEO, structured data, hreflang, links, images, performance, security, accessibility, health, external links, and TLS
• Site health score (0-100) with per-category breakdowns
• Structured data validation for 9 Schema.org types (Article, Product, FAQPage, LocalBusiness, BreadcrumbList, Event, Recipe, VideoObject, BlogPosting)
• Hreflang cross-validation with return-link and x-default checks
• Content quality metrics - reading level, word count, content-to-HTML ratio, thin content detection
• Content duplication - SimHash near-duplicate and exact-duplicate detection
• Internal PageRank - see which pages concentrate link equity

For developers

• CI/CD native - SARIF for GitHub PR annotations, JUnit for Jenkins/GitLab, --fail-on critical for exit codes
• Baseline comparison - track regressions across deploys with --save-baseline / --compare-baseline
• 9 output formats - terminal, JSON, CSV, Markdown, HTML, SARIF, JUnit, JSONL, PDF
• Custom rules - write your own checks with CEL expressions
• Prometheus metrics - push audit results to Pushgateway for dashboards and alerting

CI/CD Integration

GitHub Actions

- name: Audit website
  run: |
    go install github.com/meysam81/scry@latest
    scry crawl ${{ vars.SITE_URL }} \
      --output sarif,terminal \
      --output-file results \
      --fail-on critical

- name: Upload SARIF
  if: always()
  uses: github/codeql-action/upload-sarif@v3
  with:
    sarif_file: results.sarif

GitLab CI

website-audit:
  image: golang:latest
  script:
    - go install github.com/meysam81/scry@latest
    - scry crawl $AUDIT_URL --output terminal,json --output-file audit-report --fail-on critical
  artifacts:
    paths:
      - audit-report.*
    when: always

Baseline Comparison

Track regressions across deploys:

# Save a baseline after deploy
scry crawl https://example.com --save-baseline baseline.json

# Compare on next run
scry crawl https://example.com --compare-baseline baseline.json

New issues are flagged, resolved issues are reported, and existing issues stay quiet.

Advanced Features

Custom Rules (CEL)

Write audit rules in YAML using Common Expression Language:

# rules/my-rules.yml
rules:
  - name: "custom/missing-csp"
    severity: warning
    condition: |
      page.status_code == 200 &&
      !('content-security-policy' in page.headers)
    message: "Missing Content-Security-Policy header"

scry crawl https://example.com --rules rules/my-rules.yml

Parallel Domain Crawling

Audit multiple domains at once:

scry crawl --urls-file domains.txt --parallel-domains 4

Checkpoint & Resume

Interrupt large crawls and pick up where you left off:

scry crawl https://large-site.com --checkpoint crawl.json
# Ctrl+C, then later:
scry crawl https://large-site.com --resume crawl.json

Incremental Crawling

Only re-crawl pages that changed since the last run:

scry crawl https://example.com --incremental cache.json

Prometheus Metrics

Push audit results to a Prometheus Pushgateway:

scry crawl https://example.com --metrics-push http://pushgateway:9091

Watch Mode

Re-run a single-page audit on interval during development:

scry check https://localhost:3000 --watch --filter-category seo

Configuration

Scry reads configuration from three sources (highest precedence first):

1. CLI flags
2. Environment variables (SCRY_*)
3. scry.yml config file

Minimal example:

# scry.yml
crawl:
  max_depth: 3
  max_pages: 200
  concurrency: 8
  exclude:
    - "/admin/*"
    - "/api/*"

output:
  formats:
    - terminal
    - json
  file: report
  fail_on: critical

Validate your config without crawling:

scry validate

See the full Configuration Reference for all options.
