Web Crawl is one of tools inside Google Webmaster Tools that provides you with detailed reports about your pages' visibility on Google. This suite of webmaster tools provides you with a free and easy way to make your site more Google-friendly.

  • Click on your site. You will be taken to your site Overview.
