  • Success.
  • Ignored (skipped). URLs didn’t match any of your configuration’s pathsToMatch or did match one of your exclusionPatterns
  • Failed. Each failed URL fits into one of four categories:

    • Extraction. URLs that failed when attempting to extract data from your site.
    • Indexing. URLs that weren’t sent to Algolia.
  • Internal. An internal crawler error
