Stopped checking URLs early because : Approached script execution time limit

[Karima Ben Amri]

Hi,

We set up a script but we have this notification :

Stopped checking URLs early because: Approached script execution time limit

How can we resolve this problem ?

Thank you for your help

either you have a lot of ads in your account (we are talking about thousands or more), or there is some kind of cycle in the script code that repeats endlessly.

Hi Karima,

Thanks for providing the requested information. The error states that the Link Checker script only stopped early because it approached script execution time limit, but it doesn't mean that the script will stop completely. Even if the script would stops because of the time limit, it will still continue with the cycle of checking URLs in next executions. 

Some accounts may have a large number of URLs that cannot all be checked in a single run due to execution time limits or quotas. The script is designed to handle this case by tracking its progress over multiple runs and only checking URLs that it has not checked previously. The script uses the term "analysis" to refer to one full pass through all of your URLs, even if it takes multiple runs to complete.

Furthermore, I would recommend that you monitor the template spreadsheet output sheet and see results. On the other hand, if you encounter instances that your script stops to work as intended and fails due to execution time limits or other, then you can consider using the Larger-scale Link Checker instead.

Let me know if you have further question on this.
