What redCacti is
redCacti is a web service for website health monitoring and SEO analysis. It crawls sites for broken internal and external links, orphan pages, and gaps in internal linking; broken-link checks include 404 and 410 responses, redirect chains, and loops. Scheduled crawls can run daily, weekly, or monthly and follow robots.txt directives. Audits include metadata, Open Graph and Twitter Card tags, Schema.org structured data, image alt text, and SSL certificates. For internal linking, the service proposes source and target pages, anchor text, similarity scores, impact labels, and context. Users can also paste draft content to receive suggested link placements with paragraph, sentence, anchor text, and surrounding context. These recommendations require team review and CMS implementation; redCacti does not add links automatically. It tracks health scores and crawl snapshots over time, and scheduled crawls can flag new issues. The service says it works with any CMS, including WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, custom stacks, and headless websites. The free plan covers one website with up to 1,000 pages and up to 30 results. Pro costs $19 a month, billed monthly.
