## Changelog

### README: cross-links and examples, no code or price change (2026-10-08, build 0.1.5)

- Product name in the README now matches the Store title ("SEO Audit Crawler: Broken Links, llms.txt & AI Bot Check").
- New Examples section linking the published example task "Audit a website for SEO issues and broken links".
- "Other Lindenwerk Data Actors" lists all six sibling Actors by their current Store titles and Store URLs.
- No change to code, input schema, pricing, events, defaults or output.

All notable changes to this Actor are listed here.

### Listing quality update (2026-10-06, before the first public release)

- README: starts with an H2 "What is ...?" (Apify Store shows the Actor name as the page H1), new step-by-step
  "How to ..." section (first run, own profile, schedule, integrations, API) and a list of the other Lindenwerk Data Actors.
- Input form: fields grouped into sections (Crawl scope, Performance) and a "Quickest try" hint in the form description.
- No change to the code, prices, events, output fields or defaults.

### Launch pricing (2026-10-06, before the first public release)

- `page-audited`: USD 0.004 → USD 0.008 per audited page.
- `site-summary` stays at USD 0.01. Free rows and link checks stay free; the Actor start stays at the platform minimum
  (USD 0.00005).
- The earlier price was never charged to anyone: the Actor was not public yet.

### 0.1 (2026-10-05)

- First release.
- Three modes: crawl (breadth-first through internal links), sitemap (XML sitemaps and sitemap indexes) and list
  (exact URLs).
- Page audit with 40 rule types: status codes, redirect chains, titles, meta descriptions, headings, canonical,
  noindex / X-Robots-Tag, hreflang, lang, viewport, Open Graph, JSON-LD and microdata types, images without alt,
  mixed content, thin content, response time, sitemap membership. Every finding has a severity and a fix hint; every
  page gets a 0-100 score.
- Broken link check (internal by default, optionally external) with HEAD requests and GET confirmation.
- Site summary row: robots.txt, AI crawler matrix for 16 AI bots plus Googlebot and Bingbot, Content-Signal lines,
  llms.txt / llms-full.txt, XML sitemap, HTTP to HTTPS redirect, duplicate titles and descriptions, top issues.
- Pay per event:
  - `page-audited`: USD 0.004 (draft price, replaced before launch; see 2026-10-06) for pages with an HTTP answer,
    including 404/500 pages.
  - `site-summary`: USD 0.01.
  - Timeouts, unreachable hosts, non-HTML files, robots.txt-blocked URLs and link checks are free.
  - The run reserves budget before each page and stops cleanly at the maximum charge per run.
- Honours robots.txt (RFC 9309) including Crawl-delay, polite concurrency, SSRF guard, no proxies, no login, no
  personal data.
