Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

#og-crawler

Often when sharing a link on Facebook, the provided image/description is outdated and not what you actually want to share. One method for refreshing this information is to take the URL and pass it through Facebook's official URL Debugger.

og-crawler will crawl your website and scrape it for og data using Facebook's Open Graph API so you don't have to manually run all of your site's URLs through the Debugger.

You can crawl your entire website, or just tell og-crawler to scrape a single page.

Installation

<sudo> npm i -g og-crawler

Usage

CLI

og_crawl http://google.com

Node.js

var OgCrawler = require('og-crawler');

new OgCrawler({
	depth: 3,
	maxParallel: 5,
	silent: false,
	url: 'http://google.com'
}).crawl();

Options

-d, --depth This will determine how deep the crawling will go. The larger the number, the more pages will be scraped. Set this to 1 to scrape only the url provided.

Default value: 3

-s, --silent Setting this to true will prevent any logging. It will always prevent og-crawler from asking if you'd like to create a log file at the end of the process.

Default value: false

-m, --max-parallel If your website is large, and it's taking a long time to scrape the og data, increase this number to make more parallel requests.

Default value: 5
