The daily inspection URLs is a unique metric found only in Indexing Insight.
What are daily inspection URLs?
There are two types of daily inspection URLs in Indexing Insight:
Account level: The total number of daily inspection URLs for all your projects.
Project level: The total number of daily inspection URLs for a project.
Account level
Daily inspection URLs for a entire account.
The total number of URLs that are estimated to be inspected on a daily basis across all your monitored websites. Each plan has a limit of the URLs that can be inspected on a daily basis.
Project level
Daily inspection URLs for a project.
The total number of Inspection URLs that are estimated to be inspected on a daily basis. Estimated URLs are influenced by the web properties that have been added to the project.
Why have the daily inspection URLs metric?
The Google Search Console URL Inspection API has usage limits.
This means that you are limited by how many URLs you can fetch on a daily basis. And you are limited by how many URLs you can fetch per minute.
We’ve stress tested these usage limits over 12 months.
The result is that you can only get a certain amount of inspections out of the API per day. And we’ve baked these limits into our plans.
The daily inspection URLs metric helps track the limits for each project and account. So, you don’t have to worry about exceeding these limits.
How does the daily inspection URL metric work?
Daily URL inspection metric changes based on how many web properties you have.
When you add more web properties to your Google Search Console account,
Indexing Insight can inspect more URLs each day. This happens because each web property has its own API usage limit (up to 2,000 URLs maximum).
For example, if you add three website properties instead of one, you'll get roughly three times the daily inspection capacity.
How can you use this metric?
Every account has a daily inspection URLs limit to stop customers exceeding usage limits.
Plan | Account Daily Inspection Limits |
Automate | 20,000 daily inspection URLs |
Scale | 100,000 daily inspection URLs |
Company | 200,000 daily inspection URLs |
Please make sure to keep track of the daily inspection URLs for the account when you add web properties to your projects.
Even if you add more web properties our tool will stop inspecting when they hit the plan limit.
This can mean that if you add too many web properties then it can actually increase the inspection cycle for your projects. So always be mindful of the web properties you are adding.
