Running a Collision Scan

Trigger detection and track its progress.

Collision detection is a deliberate, heavier operation you trigger when you want a fresh analysis.

Start a scan

From the Collisions page, start a scan. OptimizeTrack analyzes your Search Console queries and groups overlapping pages into clusters.

Track progress

The scan reports progress while it runs; when it finishes you'll see the detected clusters and a summary of what was found.

How often to scan

Periodically, or after you've made significant content or structural changes. Scanning too frequently isn't necessary — collisions change slowly.

Next
