Pages
How to see requests and errors for each path, and how to find problems on your site from the response status (2xx · 3xx · 4xx · 5xx) breakdown.
In Analytics > Pages, you see how many requests come in and how many errors occur for each path (URL) of your site. Check the response breakdown for the whole site under Response status at the bottom.
Summary metrics
| Metric | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Paths | The number of paths in the ranking |
| Requests | Bot and user requests combined |
| HTML share | The share of requests that are pages (HTML) |
| 4xx paths | The number of paths that got a 4xx response at least once |
Path ranking
- Sort: Requests, 4xx, Agents (by how many kinds of bots requested the path)
- Include human browsers: Turn it off to see bot requests only.
- Rows to load: Sets how many paths to include in the ranking.
Labels on paths:
| Label | Meaning |
|---|---|
| SEO file | robots.txt, sitemap.xml, llms.txt |
| File | Files such as images and CSS |
| Mostly 4xx | Most requests to this path are errors. It may be a deleted page or a wrong link |
| Scanner | Looks like automated requests probing for vulnerabilities |
Response status
Splits all responses of your site into four groups.
| Group | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Success (2xx) | Normal responses |
| Redirects (3xx) | Sent on to another address |
| 4xx errors | Problems on the request side, such as missing pages |
| 5xx errors | Origin server errors |
In Responses by category, see the response ratios for each bot category. 4xx and 5xx over 10% are shown in red.
When there are many errors
- 4xx: Sort the path ranking by 4xx to find the paths that fail most. If a page has moved, set up your origin site to redirect it to the new address.
- 5xx: This is an origin server problem. Check the state of your origin server.
