Spider settings
In general you can leave the spider settings in their default setting unless you explicitly need

In some cases you may also want to disable query strings or add new exclusions to the list
in particular if your website uses a session ID that is not in the list.
See our quick HTML guide for more details on each of the different
url and link types.
