🛠️ Fix the Site Audit Recrawl Integer Required Error

🔍 What the Error Means

When you try to recrawl a page in Site Audit, you may see a message that says integer required. In plain language, the platform expected a whole number (such as 5 or 120) but received something else, like a blank value, text, or a decimal. This usually happens when the recrawl request is not passed to the system correctly.

This message does not mean there is a problem with your website, and it does not affect your existing audit results. It only means the recrawl request could not be processed.

🤔 Why It Happens

The most common causes are:

• The audit page was left open for a long time, and the session or page data became outdated.
• The page you selected did not load fully, so the platform could not read its internal ID number.
• A numeric setting, such as a page limit, was left empty or contains letters, spaces, or decimals.
• A temporary glitch occurred while the request was being sent.
• A browser extension or cached data interfered with the request.

✅ Quick Fixes to Try First

Work through these steps in order. Most customers resolve the error within the first few.

1. Refresh the page. Reload Site Audit so the latest data is loaded, then try the recrawl again.
2. Re-select the page. Go back to the list of audited pages, choose the page again, and start the recrawl from there.
3. Check any number fields. If you see a field for a page limit or similar setting, enter a whole number only. Do not use decimals, commas, letters, or leave it blank.
4. Log out and back in. This refreshes your session and often clears request errors.
5. Clear your browser cache. Then reload the platform and try again.
6. Try another browser or a private window. This helps rule out extensions or stored data causing the problem.

🔄 Alternative Ways to Recrawl

If the single-page recrawl still shows the error, you can try one of these options:

• Start a new full audit of your site instead of recrawling one page.
• Wait a few minutes and retry. If a crawl is already running, a new request may not be accepted until it finishes.
• Make sure the page is still live and reachable. Pages that are redirected, removed, or blocked can cause unexpected request problems.

💡 Tips to Avoid the Error

• Avoid leaving Site Audit open for many hours before running a recrawl.
• Wait for the page list and results to fully load before clicking recrawl.
• Use whole numbers only in any numeric field.
• Keep your browser up to date and pause extensions that modify web pages, such as ad blockers or script blockers, if problems continue.
