deepcrawl handles static sites out of the box. For JS-heavy SPAs (React, Next.js, SvelteKit), install Playwright for full rendering:
npm install -g playwright
npx playwright install chromiumOnce installed, deepcrawl auto-detects Playwright and enables JS rendering. Use jsRender: true on any tool to activate it. All tools also include UA rotation, realistic browser headers, and random delays to avoid basic bot detection.
