URL Inspection asks Google how it sees one page: whether the page is in Google's index, when Google last crawled it and which address Google treats as the main one. PerfBee asks Google about your pages and shows the answer next to each page. You need a Search Console property linked to the site first: see Connect Google Search Console.
What you see
PerfBee shows the answer Google gives, in Google's own words:
- Whether the page is on Google: shown as On Google, On Google, with warnings, Not on Google, Not on Google: error or Not clear.
- The reason Google gives, beside that label: for example that the page was crawled and not indexed.
- robots.txt, Indexing and Page fetch: whether your robots.txt, a noindex rule or a failed fetch kept the page out.
- Google's last visit and Crawled as: when Google last crawled the page, and as which device.
- Google's canonical: the address Google picked as the main one. When it is the page's own address, Page Detail says Same as this address.
The answer is as of the last time Google crawled the page. It is not live. A page you fixed today can still show its old status until Google crawls it again.
Where it appears
- Site Pages: the Index status column and two filters, Not on Google and Google chose another canonical.
- Page Detail: the Search tab shows the status for that page, in a card called Index status.
- Fixes: the group Indexable pages Google has not indexed, for pages PerfBee finds indexable that Google does not report as indexed without warnings.
Inspect now
Open a page in Site Pages, choose the Search tab and press Inspect now. PerfBee asks Google about that one page and shows what Google answers. It does not ask Google to crawl the page. Inspect now is on every plan. It costs no credits. You can press it 5 times a minute from one network address. On a plan without scheduled checks, each site gets 10 Inspect now answers a day. On a plan with scheduled checks, Inspect now uses the same 1,000 a day as the scheduled checks, so when they are used up it waits until midnight UTC. Viewers can see the answers but cannot press it.
Scheduled checks
Scheduled index checks are for Starter and up. Each day PerfBee asks Google about up to 1,000 pages of a site. Google allows 2,000 inspections a day for a property, and every tool you use shares that number. For each site PerfBee takes at most half, so your other tools keep working.
PerfBee picks pages in this order:
- Pages with clicks or impressions that have an open fix.
- Pages that are new since the last crawl.
- Pages whose crawl status changed.
- Pages PerfBee has never asked about.
- The pages with the oldest answer.
It asks only about HTML pages of your site that answered with a success status. It does not ask again about a page it checked in the last 14 days. When Google says the daily quota is used up, PerfBee stops and goes on the next day.
What PerfBee keeps
PerfBee keeps each answer for 90 days at most, and a newer answer replaces the older one. A site keeps at most its newest 20,000 answers. It sends Google the address of each page it asks about and the property the page belongs to. The answers are shown only to the people in your workspace, in the dashboard and in the files you download. They are not sold, not used for advertising, not sent to AI models, not on shared report pages and not in the MCP server's answers. Disconnecting the Google account, unlinking the site or closing your account deletes them. If you remove PerfBee at Google, it hides them at once and deletes them 14 days after Google reports the access is gone, unless you connect the account again first.
What it does not tell you
- It does not say how a page will rank. A page can be on Google and get no clicks.
- It does not read search queries.
- It does not show pages Google never learned about. To find addresses Google reports and your crawl missed, use Only in Google. See Search Console Numbers in Site Pages.
