Web property: Errors

Explaining the web property status error

Updated over 2 weeks ago

The following guide is to help clients understand web property error status.

The status for web properties can be seen in the web property settings.

Why does this happen?

An error status for a web property happens when Indexing Insight detects that we can't use the full 2,000 URL API limit for a web property.

The most common errors are below:

Error

Description

Reduced URL Limit

Unable to access full 2,000 URL API limit for this property.

Reduced URL Limit

When we detect new URLs uploaded to our tool, we analyse the page URLs and map them to available web properties.

Once we begin monitoring your pages, we can detect when we're unable to use the full 2,000 API limit for each web property.

If we can't utilise the full 2,000 API limit, it triggers an error that may prevent us from monitoring your pages.

Why does this matter?

Unfortunately, Google Search Console only allows 2,000 page URLs to be inspected for a web property every 24 hours.

If multiple SEO tool suppliers try to inspect page URLs using the same web property it will cause the 2,000 page URL limit to be reached.

This means we won't be able to maximise the API limits within the inspection cycle.

If we cannot use all the available 2,000 API limits per web property it can increase the number of days to inspect all the inspection URLs.

For example, if we give an inspection cycle time of 7 days, and web properties have errors, it could actually take 14-20 days to monitor all the pages.

How to fix this problem

Check tools that are using the Google Search Console integration.

If they are using the Google Search Console integration then check if they are using the URL Inspection API.

For example:

If they are using the URL Inspection API then we recommend turning the integration off to help maximise the web property limits.
