Max URL Length

All URLs that exceed the maximum URL length specified in Advanced settings > Report settings (default: 1024 characters).

Priority: Critical

Impact: Negative

What issues it may cause​

URLs exceeding 1024 characters may not work in older web browsers and are less usable which may reduce sharing.

How do you fix it​

The URL format should be reviewed and a shorter more descriptive format designed. The old URLs should be redirected to the new URL format, and any internal links or sitemap references updated.

What is the positive impact​

URLs will work in all browsers and are more likely to be shared.

        reportTemplateCodes: [$reportTemplateCode]
      }
    ) {

        nodes {
          ... on CrawlUrls {
