Sites and site settings

A site in Glimana is one canonical root — https://www.example.com — with its own crawl, rules, tasks and Search Console mapping. Your plan sets how many you can add; the sidebar footer shows the count ("7/25 sites").

Adding a site

The All sites table

The table is the overview for agencies and multi-site owners. Columns: Health (0–100, from the last crawl), GSC (mapped or not), Page (pages known from the crawl), Open tasks, Render (Automatic / HTTP only / Always Chromium) and Last crawl with its type. The icon at the end of a row makes that site the active one; the ⋮ menu offers Incremental crawl, Full crawl, Fetch GSC/GA4, Analyze, Edit and Delete.

Site settings → General

Site URL — the canonical root. Changing it is treated as a new site for crawling purposes; the history stays.

Name — the label in the switcher and in reports.

Target country and Language — searchable lists (all countries and languages). They set the CrUX locale, the writer's default article language and the hreflang expectations.

Site is not live yet — turn this on for a site that is still noindex while being built. Rules that would otherwise raise a critical "no indexable pages" alert are shown as information instead. A site-wide noindex still stays critical so launch day is not forgotten; turn the switch off when you go live.

AI visibility — what you want from AI search and training bots. It changes how the AI access rules are graded:

Brand names — comma-separated names and domains. Brand queries are excluded from the CTR curve and from article opportunities, because a brand query converts differently and would skew both.

Competitor domains — up to a few domains, no scheme. They are used only on the Competitor comparison page for speed and page-structure comparison. Competitor traffic, search volume and rankings are deliberately not shown: they would be third-party estimates.

Site settings → Crawl

Render — Automatic crawls HTML and switches to Chromium rendering only if the site looks like a single-page app; HTTP only never renders; Always Chromium renders every page (slower, uses more budget). Rendering is sampled, not applied to every page, so a JavaScript-built site still gets a representative read.

Requests/s (upper limit) — the fastest we will ever load your site. The crawler works sequentially, so the real speed is usually lower; your server's response time sets it.

Time window — Any time or Night only (00–07 in the site's time zone) for servers that are busy by day.

Page limit — leave empty to use the plan's per-crawl cap (100,000 pages on this plan). Set it lower for very large sites where you only care about a section.

Exclusion patterns — one per line. Glob (*) or /regex/; plain text matches anywhere in the URL. Excluded URLs are not fetched and do not count against the budget.

Task weights — multipliers (0.5–2) for the three task families (Technical, Content, Traffic). Use them to say "on this site, content work matters more" without touching the rules.

Deleting a site

The delete button is at the bottom of General settings, in the danger zone, behind a confirmation. Deleting removes the crawl history, issues, tasks and drafts for that site and frees the slot in your plan. Search Console data stays with Google; re-adding the site re-imports it.
