Page priority and test frequency

Scheduled monitoring must decide which URLs to test and how often. Apogee Watcher uses two levers:

• Page priority — order when many pages are due at once
• Scheduled test frequency — cadence at site level (hourly through monthly)

Both affect monthly API usage — see Understand plan limits and Site API usage and quotas.

Set site test frequency

1. Sign in at /admin.
2. Open Setup → Sites.
3. Edit the site.
4. Find Scheduled Test Frequency (or equivalent schedule field).
5. Choose Hourly, Daily, Weekly, or Monthly — only options your plan allows appear in the dropdown.
6. Save.

Higher frequency increases test volume across all included pages on that site. Free-tier workspaces are typically limited to monthly scheduling.

Edit site — Scheduled Test Frequency applies to the whole property.

Score chart default window

On the site (and site page) Performance score (daily average) chart, the period dropdown defaults from this frequency:

You can still switch the chart to 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, or Lifetime at any time. See Run a test and read results.

Set page priority

1. Open Setup → Site Pages (or the site’s pages tab).
2. Edit a page row.
3. Set Priority:

4. Toggle Included in scheduled tests off to pause a URL without deleting it.
5. Save.

Edit site page — Priority and Included in scheduled tests.

Viewers

Viewers can open Site Pages and see priority labels but cannot edit frequency or priority. Point read-only colleagues to results and reports instead.
