Enable slow mode when adding a new source to an existing agent

Enable slow mode

The slow mode feature (via “Extend allowed time per page”) was originally available only when creating a new agent. You can now use this feature when adding a new website source to an existing agent.

This helps ensure CustomGPT has enough time to fully index slow-loading websites during auto-sync.

When to use this

If you're adding a new website source that:

• Loads pages slowly due to JavaScript or large assets
• Websites that doesn’t have a sitemap and depends on page-by-page crawling

Enabling slow mode helps ensure all pages are found and indexed properly.

How to enable slow mode for an existing agent

1. Open your CustomGPT dashboard and click the three-dot menu next to your agent.

2. Select Build.

3. In Website section, find your connected website, click the three-dot menu next to it, and select Auto Sync.

4. Locate the Extend allowed time per page option and toggle it On to give CustomGPT more time to crawl each page.

🚧

Note:

If you turn this setting off later, auto-sync may miss pages that were previously indexed using slow mode.

5. Click Save changes to apply your update.

Note:

The change will take effect during the next scheduled auto-sync.
