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
