Will do, thanks!

This is great. I'm really sorted now. Thanks very much for all your time on this, This has been a great opportunity as well to optimise the site that's being indexed as well. The spiders don't like spaces in URLs since the server passes a soft 301 error which only a browser can bypass onto the "...

That's very helpful - perfect. Ultimately, it doesn't need to flush the site contents every time. If it finds a page that's removed, then the site will present its own error page of some sort, even if it's not triggering an actual 404. That's not likely to show up in the search results then, anyway....

That's great info, thanks for that. It does create a limitation in that, if you have a page responding to a querystring that no longer pulls up a valid record, but the page is still there to handle it (ie. you could remove the link but the page handling the querystring is still there, so no 404 erro...

It's going really well! I had a question about it ... Is there a way to tell which page on the site referred the spider to a certain page? So in other words: "on which page did you find that link?" It's no issue if not. I was just interested in optimising my own site to prevent it from ser...

(Optional but recommended) Imagick is not needed for Sphiderlite.) Sorry. You are missing one or more requirements to run the l...

Hi, First of all, wanted to say that this script looks very impressive. Great to see it being kept updated frequently, I installed v4.2.0 and the install.php process has run through fine and I can see that it's created the tables in the DB. The login page displays for admin.php, but when entering th...
