Sync Tools

Overview

Sync tools kick off background updates that refresh your stored data. They run in the background — after triggering a sync, use the corresponding stored metrics tool to check results once the job completes. Your plan determines how often syncs run automatically.

Tips

• Syncs run automatically on your plan's schedule (daily for Pro/Agency, weekly/monthly for Starter). Trigger them manually when you need fresh data immediately.
• Syncs run in the background — they start a background update. Allow a few minutes for large syncs (site audits can take several minutes depending on site size).
• Stored metrics tools are free to read — they don't consume credits since the data is already in your database.
