The Optimization Queue Explained
What each queue state means, and how to retry or clear items.
The queue is where pages wait to be processed and where you track work in flight.
Queue states
- Queued — Waiting to be processed.
- Running — The AI is actively analyzing the page and generating recommendations.
- Complete — Recommendations are ready to review.
- Failed — Processing didn't finish. The item shows an error you can act on.
Processing an item
Items are processed to produce recommendations. Depending on your setup this may happen automatically after submission or when you trigger it. When processing finishes, the item flips to complete and its recommendations become available.
Retrying failures
Failures are usually transient — an unreachable page, a crawler block, or a timeout. You can:
- Retry a single item from its row.
- Retry all failed items in one action.
If an item keeps failing, check that the URL loads publicly, isn't blocked to crawlers, and returns a normal (non-error) page.
Removing items
You can delete a queue item you no longer need. Deleting a queued or failed item simply removes it from the list.
Recovery after restarts
If the system restarts while items are running, OptimizeTrack automatically resets them back to queued so nothing gets stuck mid-process.
