Mobile alternate

Configuration > Spider > Crawl > Mobile Alternate

By default the SEO Spider will not crawl or store URLs contained within rel=”alternate” link elements.

<link rel="alternate" media="only screen and (max-width: 640px)" href="http://m.example.com/">

Unticking the ‘store’ configuration will mean mobile alternate details will not be stored and will not appear within the SEO Spider.

Unticking the ‘crawl’ configuration will mean URLs discovered within mobile alternate link elements will not be crawled.
