Domain Details
The Domain Details page provides an in-depth view of a specific domain's caching performance, indexing health, and crawler activity within Index Render.
Summary / Overview
While the Domain Manager gives you a high-level summary of all your sites, Domain Details zooms into a single domain. It allows you to monitor how many individual URLs are currently stored in the cache, view their latest render statuses, and analyze detailed metrics about crawler interactions for that specific property.
This level of granularity is crucial for identifying indexing road-blocks, tracking down specific stale pages, and ensuring that high-priority URLs are properly served to search engines and AI agents.
Detailed Explanation / How It Works
Key Metrics & Insights
At the top of the Domain Details page, you will find critical KPI summary cards:
- Total URLs Cached – The exact number of unique paths tracked and cached.
- Recent Crawler Hits – Activity from Googlebot, Bingbot, ChatGPT-User, and others over recent timeframes.
- Average Render Time – How quickly the origin server generates the page before caching.
Search and Filtering
If your domain has thousands of URLs, finding a specific page can be challenging. The built-in Search Bar allows you to filter the URL list instantly by path keyword (e.g., searching for /blog/).
You can also utilize pagination controls to efficiently browse your catalog without suffering from slow loading times, as the data is continuously synced and batched.
Step-by-Step Usage
Viewing Domain Details
- From the Dashboard or Domain Manager, click on the name of the domain you wish to inspect.
- You will land on the Domain Details dashboard.
- Review the Top KPIs to ensure there are no broad rendering outages.
- Use the search box on the top right of the URL table to locate a specific page (like a newly published article).
Inspecting a Specific URL
- Locate the URL in the data table.
- Click the Inspect button (magnifying glass icon) next to the URL.
- This action securely navigates you to the URL Inspector page, revealing deep insights for that exact page.
Common Pitfalls / Tips
- Search functionality is robust: Don't manually click through pages. Utilize the search to save time diagnosing issues on deep inner pages.
- Check for Missing URLs: If a URL you published days ago is not in the list, verify that your sitemap is up to date and that Index Render is successfully polling it.
- Monitor HTTP Statuses: Look out for cached 404s or 500s. A high number of non-200 URLs usually indicates broken links or internal routing issues that bots are hitting.
