SERP API Example

Choose a URL or a crawl

Instant page analysis starts with a URL. A site crawl uses task-based collection with a target and crawl limits; confirm the scope before submitting a large site.

Inspect response status, page title, description, canonical signals and available content checks. Investigate the affected URL before treating every warning as a ranking issue.

Use crawl results to review internal links and broken destinations. A blocked or unreachable page may be a crawl limitation rather than a deleted page.

Review status and metadata

Sites that rely on JavaScript may need browser-based collection. Rendering and Lighthouse routes have different setup and processing requirements from a basic HTML check.

Inspect the link structure

Choose rendering deliberately

Lighthouse is a lab measurement for a particular run. It is not a substitute for real-user Core Web Vitals, and results vary with the page and test conditions.

  • Keep the original crawl settings and compare affected URLs after a fix. Record the status, check name and observation date so the report explains what changed.
