Site Errors Breakdown

Wednesday, August 29, 2012

Today we’re announcing more detailed Site Error information in Webmaster Tools. This information
is useful when looking for the source of your Site Errors. For example, if your site suffers from
server connectivity problems, your server may simply be misconfigured; then again, it could also
be completely unavailable! Since each Site Error (DNS, Server Connectivity, and Robots.txt Fetch)
is comprised of several unique issues, we’ve broken down each category into more specific errors
to provide you with a better analysis of your site’s health.

Site Errors will display statistics for each of your site-wide crawl errors from the past 90 days.
In addition, it will show the failure rates for any category-specific errors that have been
affecting your site.

Site Errors feature in Webmaster Tools

If you’re not sure what a particular error means, you can read a short description of it by
hovering over its entry in the legend. You can find more detailed information by following the
“More info” link in the tooltip.

We hope that these changes will make Site Errors even more informative and helpful in keeping
your site in tip-top shape. If you have any questions or suggestions, please let us know through
the
Webmaster Tools Help Forum.

We archive Search Central announcements because client questions often trace back to a change that was announced years ago. Reading the original is faster than reconstructing it from second-hand summaries.
