Site diagnostics
Yandex's algorithms check your site daily. If the indexing bot detects errors or finds a way to make your site better, you'll see a notification in Yandex Webmaster.
With Site diagnostics, you can:
- Promptly fix any errors found on your site.
- Follow the indexing bot's recommendations to optimize your site and increase its visibility in Yandex Search.
- Run manual diagnostics.
Note
To receive timely updates about errors and recommendations, subscribe to notifications.
