Troubleshooting common issues
Slow performance:
- Reduce the number of URLs checked at once
- Some websites may have anti-scraping measures that slow checks
Authentication required:
- Sites with Cloudflare or similar protection need manual verification
- Consider checking these URLs manually
Rate limiting:
- The tool includes built-in delays to prevent rate limiting
- For very large batches, split into smaller groups
Results not appearing:
- Verify your column settings are correct
- Check if the output column has enough space
Add-on appears completely blank:
- In rare cases, the add-on might load with a completely blank interface
- Solution: Simply relaunch the add-on
Limitations
- HTTPS-only websites
- Cannot check password-protected pages
- Some sites with complex JavaScript may need manual verification
- Daily quotas apply to scheduled checks
