Helpdesk is open from Monday through Friday CET
Hello.
Is there any way to check if the cron job is running correctly?
On my site there would never be finished the site analysis. If I would manually start to do this, it is working and would be finished.
But at the next day it is again not finished.
Thanks for your answer.

Hi

If there are some pages analyzed, it's working.

Analysis is never finished. That's the major feature in 4SEO. It constantly monitors your pages and when it thinks a page may have changed, it puts it back up onto the list for later, offline analysis (triggered by frontend visits).
That's how new pages are added to sitemap, or removed from it if you noindex them for instance.
If there was no page waiting analysis, then yes, the "cron" system would likely not work.
If I would manually start to do this
Triggering an analysis from the admin is only a way to:
- get started or check things out quickly during development
- when the site does not have any frontend visit (again, when developing usually)
After the initial setup, there's no need to run analysis from the admin.
One word of caution though: on many sites, there are pages that are totally useless to analyze. You should exclude them from the analysis process (see documentation on that here), if that's the case on your site.

Hello.
Thanks for your answer.
The pages for analysis is going to be more and more.
I wonder when the pages are analyzed.
during 2 days, there are more than 900 pages to analyze.
Is this normal, that this would be more and more and never less?
Thanks
Rene
Hi

When someone view a page on the frontend, this triggers the analysis of a page waiting for analysis in the background.

Totally, and it's not a problem at all. After sometimes, it should settle but it does not change or hurt the site operation.
It also likely means:
- your pages have elements that change frequently
- there's no enough traffic on the frontend to keep up with the changing pages
I would recommend your review your site content and if you have some sections of the site that are not useful for SEO (user profiles for instance), you should exclude them from the analysis.
