Notes:
- Bulk Pages tests can be set to run on a recurring schedule (1x per day).
- Test results are aggregated for each URL that is scanned and resources present between pages are only referenced one time in the results.
- Each license limits the number of URLs that can be configured in a Bulk Pages test. View your bulk test limit on the account settings page in Rigor Optimization.
- Bulk Pages tests generate waterfall charts with network timings for each URL that is scanned. The timings in Optimization are collected through a headless browser and are not meant to replace synthetic or real user monitoring data.
