Where Lumar is strong
Crawling at Scale
Cloud crawls designed for very large websites, with a long record in enterprise SEO.
Monitoring and Testing
Monitoring and testing products aimed at catching technical issues before and after release.
Beyond SEO
Website quality checks such as accessibility, alongside technical SEO.
How RankDebug differs
Clicks at Stake
Findings and opportunities are ranked by the Search Console clicks of the pages they affect, so the list is already in priority order.
Agent Over Your Data
Ask why traffic changed and the agent queries your search, analytics, CDN, crawl and deploy data to answer, showing the figures it used.
Permanent History
Search Console keeps 16 months. We backfill what it has and keep every day after that, so slow declines can be traced to their start.
Which to choose
Choose RankDebug if
- You want a cause for a traffic change, not only a crawl report
- You want CDN crawler traffic and firewall events beside crawl findings
- You want a contract sized for one to a few websites
Choose Lumar if
- You need a full enterprise crawling platform
- You want accessibility checks in the same tool
- You have a large technical SEO team
RankDebug vs Lumar: questions
Do you test releases before they ship?
We check right after a release reaches your site, and the CLI flags SEO signals that changed in the diff. Testing a staging site works through the crawler with custom headers or basic auth.
Is your crawler built for very large sites?
We sample by template rather than crawling every URL every week, and lean on Search Console and CDN data for coverage.
