We used to be able to run SEO scans regularly, and now they are consistently failing after only a few seconds. Any ideas as to why this is / any recommendations on how to troubleshoot/fix the issue?

Hi @JSpera,

I would recommend to reach out to HubSpot support directly, in-app via chat or email. The community is user-to-user and this seems to be a bug or issue that HubSpot support can check logs for to understand what exactly is failing and why.

Best regards!

This usually happens due to server overload, firewall restrictions, or tool updates that affect the crawling process. I’d recommend checking your hosting performance, site speed, and whether any plugins/security settings are blocking scans. Sometimes switching to alternative SEO tools also helps. In our experience, pairing regular audits with professional digital marketing services ensures technical issues are spotted quickly and fixes are implemented without affecting rankings.
