Sites & snippet

Pages

Every site has a Pages area: the list of pages adfit knows about on that site. adfit reads a page once and remembers what it found, and it needs that before it can personalize the page. This guide covers how pages get into the list, what each status means, and how you decide what adfit collects.

Where to find it

Open a site and choose Pages & elements in the left sidebar. The Your pages card lists every page adfit knows about, with a counter above it (for example 12 pages · 4 captured by snippet · 8 fetched by adfit).

Open a page, favorite it, come back to it

Each page's address in the list is a link. Click it to open the page's elements view, where you can see the text and clickable elements adfit can change. See Page elements.

  • Favorite a page: press the star at the start of a page's row (or in its elements view). Favorites are pulled to the top of your list, so the pages you work on most stay in reach. The star is yours alone: it does not change anything for other people on the site.
  • Recently viewed: once you have opened a page or two, a Recently viewed card appears above your list with the pages you opened most recently, so you can jump straight back to them.

How pages get into your list

There are three ways, and you can mix them freely:

  • Discover pages: adfit looks at your sitemap and the links on your start page, shows what it found, and you pick the pages you want to keep.
  • Add page or Add pages: you paste the address of a single page, or several at once, and adfit reads them right away.
  • Visits to your site: when someone opens a page of your site and the snippet is installed, that page shows up here too, with what the snippet saw.

Your list stays curated

A discovery run shows you what it found, but it saves nothing on its own. Only the pages you tick are added, so the list stays the set of pages you actually care about.

Before adfit can read your pages

adfit only reads pages from sites it knows are yours. Until your site has been seen once, the Pages area shows adfit cannot read your pages yet and the two buttons stay switched off. The way out is the snippet:

  1. Install the snippet

    Add the embed code to your site as described in Install the snippet.

  2. Open your site once

    Visit any page of your site in a browser. That single visit tells adfit the site is yours.

  3. Come back to Pages

    Discover pages and Add page are now available. If the callout is still there, run a connection check to see what is holding the snippet up.

Discovering and adding pages needs an active plan

Letting adfit fetch your pages is part of the paid plans. Without an active subscription the two buttons show Adding pages is not available on your plan. See Plans & pricing.

Discover pages

  1. Start the run

    Choose Discover pages. adfit starts looking right away and takes up to 20 seconds.

  2. Pick the pages you want

    Tick the pages you want to keep. From 20 findings upward a filter box appears, so you can narrow the list down first; Select all then takes the pages the filter shows, and a note reminds you of that. Pages that are already in your list, and pages adfit protects, are shown but cannot be ticked.

  3. Add them

    Choose Add N pages. adfit tells you how many were added, and names any it skipped, for example because they were already in your list.

If adfit finds nothing

adfit looks at your sitemap and the links on your start page. If your site has neither, the dialog says so and offers Add page by URL instead. That path always works, one page at a time.

Admin and system paths of your platform, like a WordPress backend, are never part of the findings: they are not a landing page, so Discover pages leaves them out entirely.

If adfit stops early or finds a lot

  • Stopped after 20 seconds: adfit shows what it found so far. Add the pages you need, then run it again later.
  • More than 200 pages: adfit shows the first 200. Add the ones you need, then run it again to see more.
  • adfit could not look for pages right now: choose Try again in the dialog. If it keeps failing, add the pages you need by address.

Add a single page

Choose Add page, paste the full address (for example https://example.com/pricing) and confirm. The page has to be on this site's own domain, over https. adfit reads it once and remembers what it finds.

Reading takes a moment. When it worked, the dialog closes and the page appears in your list. When adfit could not read the page under that address, the dialog stays open and tells you what happened and what to do: see What each status means below. The page is added to your list in that case too, so you can deal with it later.

Adding an address that is already in your list never creates a duplicate. adfit recognizes it, even when the address is written a little differently (for example with or without a trailing / or a .html ending), reads the page again and tells you: This page is already tracked. adfit read it again. Re-reading is fine, and it's the quickest way to refresh what adfit knows about a page.

If the address is not on this site's own domain, adfit says so right in the form and adds nothing. Correct the address, or add the other domain as a site of its own.

Add several pages at once

To add more than one page in one go, choose Add pages and paste one address per line. adfit reads each page once, up to 20 at a time, and every address has to be on this site's own domain, over https. When it is done, adfit tells you how many were added and lists any it could not add, each with the reason.

Same checks as adding one page

Every line goes through the same checks as Add page: an address already in your list is not duplicated, legal pages are left out, and the page limit still applies. If a line fails, the others still go through.

What each status means

Every page in the list carries a status. It says whether adfit has read the page, and where the content came from.

  • Captured by snippet: someone opened this page with the snippet installed, and adfit saw the page exactly as a visitor sees it. Nothing to do.
  • Fetched by adfit: adfit fetched the page itself and could read it. Nothing to do.
  • Redirected: this address forwards somewhere else, and adfit read that other page instead. The row names the address it landed on. Use that address as your target page from now on.
  • Nothing to read: the page builds its content in the browser, so there was nothing for adfit to read when it fetched the address. Open the page once with the snippet installed, and adfit picks it up from that visit. The row has an Open page button for exactly that.
  • Could not be reached: adfit could not open this page. Check the address, then use Try again on the row.
  • Discovered: adfit knows this page exists but has not read it yet. It reads the page the next time it needs it, and a visit with the snippet installed gets you there sooner.
  • Protected: adfit collects this page but never changes it. Pages whose address looks like checkout, cart, account, or login are always protected.
  • Not collected: adfit stores nothing new for this page, either because you turned collecting off for it or because it is a legal page. See Pages adfit leaves alone and Stop collecting a page.

A retry only helps in one of these cases

Could not be reached is the one status where fetching again can change the outcome, so it is the only one with a Try again. A page with Nothing to read would come back empty again: there the snippet is the fix. With Redirected there is nothing to repeat, because adfit did read a page, just another one.

Pages adfit leaves alone

Two kinds of pages are handled for you, with no setup:

  • Legal pages (imprint, privacy policy, terms, right of withdrawal, cookie policy) are never collected at all. adfit stores nothing for them and never personalizes them.
  • Pages that look protected are never changed: adfit recognizes an address that looks like checkout, cart, account, or login, and leaves that page exactly as you built it, even though it may know it exists.

This is built in, not a setting

You cannot switch these rules off, and you do not have to switch them on. They apply to every site, on every plan, both when adfit fetches a page itself and when the snippet reports one.

Stop collecting a page

If there is a page you would rather keep out of adfit, open the actions menu at the end of its row and choose Do not collect this page. adfit asks you to confirm, then stores nothing new for that page.

  • It works both ways: adfit stops fetching the page itself, and it also ignores the page when a visitor opens it with the snippet installed.
  • Snapshots adfit already stored stay until you clear them, see Delete what adfit stored.
  • Personalizations on that page keep working. adfit just stops reading the page.
  • To undo it, choose Collect this page again from the same menu. No confirmation needed.

Legal pages have no switch

Legal pages are already never collected, so the menu does not offer the option for them. There is nothing to turn on or off.

Deciding what adfit collects is part of the paid plans. Without an active subscription, the two blocklist entries are not shown: see Plans & pricing.

Delete what adfit stored

Everything adfit read from a page is stored as a snapshot, and you can delete it at any time. Your website itself is never touched by this.

  • One page: open the actions menu on its row and choose Clear snapshots. If the page has nothing stored yet, the entry is greyed out and says so.
  • The whole site: use Clear all snapshots below the list. It deletes everything adfit stored for every page of this site.

What happens after you clear

adfit reads the page again the next time it needs it, so nothing is lost for good. Personalizations on that page keep working, but until adfit has read the page again it cannot check them against your current text, so you will not be warned about a headline you changed in the meantime.

Remove a page from your list

Choose Remove from list in the actions menu to take a page out of the Pages area. Your page itself is not touched, and snapshots adfit already stored stay until you clear them. You can always bring the page back with Discover pages or Add page.

Removing also removes your block

If the page is one you told adfit not to collect, removing the row removes that decision with it. The next time someone opens the page with the snippet installed, it comes back and is collected again. To keep the page out of adfit, leave the row in place with collecting turned off.

Choose the main page for analysis

adfit learns your brand voice and what your site is about from one page. By default that is your start page. To point it somewhere else, open the actions menu on the page that describes your business best and choose Use as main page for analysis.

This changes the site analysis the next time it runs. Personalizations you already have stay exactly as they are.

Where adfit starts reading

By default adfit reads your site at https://your-domain/. If your content does not live directly under your domain, for example because it sits in a language or shop folder, tell adfit where to start: open the site's Settings and fill in Base address under Where adfit reads your pages.

  • Use an https address on this site's own domain, for example https://www.example.com/en/. An address on another domain is rejected, and the message under the field tells you so.
  • Leave the field empty to remove the setting. adfit then reads your site at https://your-domain/ again.

When this is worth setting

If discovery finds nothing, or pages you add keep coming back as Could not be reached, a base address is often the answer: adfit was looking at the root of your domain while your pages live one folder deeper.

How many pages a site can hold

A site can hold up to 200 pages in this list. As you get close, the counter line switches to the full picture (for example 192 of 200 pages), and the discovery dialog tells you how many more you can add. When the list is full, remove pages you do not need, then add more.

This is not a plan limit

The page limit is the same on every plan, and upgrading does not raise it. It keeps the list workable rather than selling you more room.
