This can happen due to 1 of 2 reasons:
1 - you crawl a URL that also includes a /directory/
like this:
Site.com/products
π₯ When you enter a URL with a /directory/, by default that directory will be auto-populated in the ADVANCED SETTINGS > Include Directories
βThis is because 99% of the time it is the user's intention to only crawl links inside that directory.
β
Therefore, it will ONLY crawl pages that have the /products
/ in their URL.
β
π However, If you wish to include pages outside of this directory simply select this option prior to your crawl.
β
2- by default we skip all URLs that have parameters ( "?..."
)
example: /site.com/?some-link
β
βSolution: Go to Advanced Settings > Turn this OFF!
β
We disable this because 99% of those pages are duplicate product or paginated pages that you usually don't want to crawl anyway,
