How long does the first scan take?

Usually a few minutes, depending on the number of URLs and active formats. A single page with 5 formats typically completes in under 2 minutes. Larger sites with 100+ URLs may take 15-30 minutes for the initial scan.

Will Geordy affect my website performance?

No. Geordy runs externally and does not modify your site code beyond the tag snippets. The scanning process does not impact your website's loading speed or server performance. Generated files are hosted on Geordy's infrastructure, not your server.

Do I need to re-install AI references after updates?

No. Once installed, Geordy automatically maintains the AI references. The link-rel tags and JSON-LD manifest in your section remain static and point to dynamically updated files on your custom subdomain.

Can I host files myself instead of using a Geordy subdomain?

Yes. You can manually download and host generated files on your own infrastructure. However, you'll lose automatic updates and will need to manually regenerate and upload files whenever your content changes. We recommend using the Geordy subdomain for seamless automation.

Does Geordy share data externally?

No. Generated structured files are public (like a sitemap) and accessible via your custom subdomain, but Geordy does not share or resell your site data to third parties. All data is processed securely and used solely for generating your structured formats.

What happens if I downgrade my plan?

If you downgrade, your credit limit will adjust to the new plan tier starting the next billing cycle. Existing generated files remain accessible, but new scans will be limited by your new credit allocation. Consider optimizing cadence and formats before downgrading.

Can I exclude specific pages from being scanned?

Yes. In the URL Dashboard, you can set any URL's priority to 'Excluded' to prevent it from being scanned. Excluded URLs do not consume credits and will not appear in generated formats or sitemaps.

How do I cancel my subscription?

Navigate to Plan & Usage → Billing Dashboard and select 'Cancel Subscription'. Your plan will remain active until the end of your current billing period, after which you'll be moved to the Free tier. All generated files remain accessible during the transition.

What file formats does Geordy support?

Geordy generates YAML, Markdown, llms.txt, JSON-LD (Schema.org), RSS feeds, and custom XML formats. You can enable or disable any format in the Settings → Formats section. Each format is optimized for different AI systems and search engines.

Can I use Geordy with a staging or development site?

Yes, but we recommend using production URLs for best results. Staging sites should be publicly accessible (not password-protected) for Geordy to scan them. You can set up separate Geordy projects for staging and production environments.
