# SEO Crawl Render > Acquire a page or site into the shared PageSnapshot every audit module reads — real HTTP status chain, headers, robots directives, raw HTML on disk, parsed document, optional headless-Chrome render with a raw-vs-rendered delta, and once-per-run site artifacts (robots, sitemaps, AI discovery files). Acquisition is done by the bundled scripts (snapshot.mjs / crawl.mjs), never by WebFetch. Records the data tier reached. - Skill: `hainrixz/seo-crawl-render` (Agent Skill) - Install (CLI): `npx skillmds@latest add hainrixz/seo-crawl-render` - Raw SKILL.md: https://api.skillmd.com/api/skills/hainrixz/seo-crawl-render/raw - Safety review: pending - Works with: Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex - Category: Product & Planning - Author: Hainrixz (https://skillmd.com/u/hainrixz) - Updated: 2026-09-17 - Page: https://skillmd.com/skills/hainrixz/seo-crawl-render --- # seo-crawl-render Produces the `PageSnapshot` (v2) consumed by every module. The **scripts** fetch, parse, render, and persist; this skill decides which command to run and reads only its compact stdout summary. Claude Code's `WebFetch` returns a lossy model summary with no headers, status codes, or raw HTML and does not follow cross-host redirects — it is never the acquisition path. ## Acquisition - Single page or local path: `node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/snapshot.mjs" --out "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}/runs" [--render auto|static|js] [--ua default|googlebot|bingbot|gptbot|oai-searchbot|claude-searchbot] [--renderer auto|chrome|playwright|none] [--rendered-file ] [--max-bytes 5000000] [--json]` — a non-default `--ua` writes `pages/.ua-.json`. - Multi-page: `node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/crawl.mjs" [--pages 12] [--max 40] [--per-template 2] [--depth 3] --out "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}/runs"` — homepage + target always, then at most `--per-template` pages per detected template, robots respected; every skip is logged in `crawl.json.sampling`. Also takes `--concurrency`, `--delay`, `--include`/`--exclude`, `--seeds`, `--sitemap-sample`, `--link-status` and `--no-robots`. - Read the stdout summary only (run dir, slugs, counts, render verdict, warnings). **Never paste HTML into the conversation** — modules `Read` `pages/.json` and `Grep` `pages/.html`. - Local directories are read as built HTML (`status: null`, empty headers). Framework source with no built output exits 2: build first or give the deployed URL. ## Render decision (lives in the script) `--render auto` marks a render as needed on word count <150, hydration markers (`__NEXT_DATA__`, `__NUXT_DATA__`, `self.__next_f`, empty `#app`/`#__next` root) on a still-thin page, no h1 with <3 anchors, or a `
