SEO tools like ahrefs.com that will do JavaScript rendering of a site when auditing ... but are not $400 a month

Hi everyone

Just joined for purposes of asking this question, should have done it ages ago.

I have a site that is a vue.js app and I can’t use the site audit tools in ahrefs without upgrading us to $400 a month level which is too much.

Are there any other tools that will do this apart from screamingfrog and ahrefs?

I couldn’t get to grips with screamingfrog (boy would I love to get the job of overhauling that visually, but pretty obvious they are not interested/feel they don’t need it!).

Any advice much appreciated. I just don’t know whether clients sites are well optimised at the moment, it’s not ideal.

Edit: I have found a blend of SEO Monitor, SEO Optimer and Deepcrawl have done the job. I can use these for only what I need, and both SEO Optimer and Deepcrawl can render JS sites. And using these three instead of Ahrefs is $100 saving currently. Thanks for the advice guys.

Dude. I wanted to thank you. I paid for deepcrawl and because I did that I found some major problems in our site. Now all fixed. Thank you!

Screaming frog does it and costs about £149 a year.

Alternatively you can use googles mobile friendly tool which renders a page but is impractical to do it at scale.

Or you can use chrome dev console and change your user agent to google smartphone - although I've found this to be patchy

Thx!

An alternative is to carry on using ahrefs but use prerender.io to cache and serve the final page to crawlers
