How to overcome Connection Timeout Status Error?

[Manifeat9]

My website contains 110+ pages in which 70 are CONNECTION TIMEOUT while checking in Screaming Frog. Can someone help me in getting this solved?

This means that Screaming Frog is not 'waiting long enough' before returning the time-out error.

Just do this:

2. https://d.pr/i/N6xdLA.png (screenshot)

Raise that number up, until you don't get 0 / Time Out any more. Note that if it does fail a lot on moderate crawl settings, there are likely to be underlying page-speed issues (either that or the machine you are crawling from has bad bandwidth)

It could also be that your crawl ' frequency' is too high, go Configuration->Speed and lower the thread count (to 2-3) and the URI/s (to one or two)

Finally it might be that the SF user-agent is blocked so go Configuration->User Agent and switch it to Chrome

**To help you **- I did the crawl for you, here is your crawl data: https://d.pr/f/a1ux4b.zip (archive of crawl file and some exports)

You can actually use my crawl file as a starting point (by double clicking it) when you want to re-crawl in future. Should be useful to you
