While Siteimprove crawls your site on a set schedule (typically every 5 days), you may wish to start another crawl outside of this schedule. There is no additional charge incurred for doing so.
It is possible to initiate a crawl at the following levels:
Single page re-check
If you have just updated a particular page and would like to re-check the page for issues, you can do so using the "Single page re-check" icon found at the top of each page report:
Results typically take a minute to return. The screen will refresh automatically once completed.
Re-crawl of multiple pages
If you have updated multiple pages on your site and would like to re-check them for issues, you can do so by checking off the boxes next to the page title/URL and clicking the Re-check button on page list views within the Content Suite.
Re-crawl entire site
It possible for Account Owners and Administrators to re-crawl the entire site. Customized roles can also be configured to have this permission. For information on customized see the interactive tutorial "How to customize user roles".
If you would like to re-check an entire site, follow these steps in the Quality Assurance module:
- Remove any group selection so that "No group selected" is displayed
- Click QA Overview.
- Click the "Re-Crawl website" on the Dashboard.
Once a full site re-crawl completes, you should receive the same reports and notifications as with your scheduled crawl.
Re-crawl a group
If you have made updates to a particular group of pages and would like to re-crawl them all follow these steps starting from the Quality Assurance module:
- Select the group you would like to re-crawl.
- Click QA Overview.
- Click the Re-Crawl group button in the Dashboard.
