Ignored URLs

  • Updated
  • Insights v5.0.0

Ignored URLs are skipped in every scan. A page ends up here in two ways:

  • You chose Ignore for it on the Reports tab, for example a thank-you page you do not care about.
  • Google could not load it. The plugin adds it here so it does not fail again on every scan, and shows a notice.

Bring a page back

Fix whatever stopped Google from loading the page, then click Reactivate next to it. It is checked again right away. Common reasons a page fails:

  • The page needs a login or sits behind a password.
  • It redirects to another page, or returns a 404 or 500 error.
  • A firewall or security plugin blocks Google’s servers.
  • The site is in maintenance or coming soon mode.

You can test any URL on pagespeed.web.dev to see the exact error Google gets.

Remove from the list

Remove takes a URL off the list. WordPress pages and posts are then checked again on the next scan. A custom URL that was removed from the list stays in your custom URLs.
