CacheDuration controls refresh frequency per source. For active deal sites, set short durations (a few minutes) and let SleekRank pull from your scraper's JSON URL on each cache cycle. Pages serve fast from the items table between refreshes, so user-facing performance is decoupled from scraper latency.

Yes. Compute a deal flag in your data source whenever current_price equals lowest_price within a threshold, then selector-map that flag to a callout class. Pages where the flag is true render a "deal alert" highlight without any editorial decision per product.

Yes. SleekRank injects mapped values through your active theme, page builder, or block library. Bricks, Elementor, Gutenberg, and custom themes all work without needing a dedicated price-tracker template engine on top of WordPress.

Yes. Every /price/{slug}/ URL lands in SleekRank's sitemap and the base WordPress page is auto-noindexed. Submit the sitemap once in Search Console; new products get crawled within hours of cache flush and rank for product-specific price queries.

The base template stays consistent, but per-product variation lives in the data. Category-specific fields (capacity, color, edition) get selector-mapped only when the row has them. For radically different categories, run separate page groups against different base pages.

Delete the row from your source and flush cache. The /price/{slug}/ URL returns 404 on the next cycle and exits the sitemap, so search results stop showing stale price claims. Keep an archived flag if you want to retain historical context with a discontinued banner instead of a 404.

Each /price/{slug}/ URL carries the product's full history, lowest-ever marker, and retailer breakdown, which is enough natural differentiation versus a generic retailer category page. Internal-link from product reviews to the price tracker URL with explicit anchor text to reinforce intent separation.

Yes. Configure separate page groups against different scraper endpoints, all rendering into the same base template. A primary scraper feeds /price/{slug}/, a secondary catches international SKUs at /price/intl/{slug}/. Each group gets its own cacheDuration and auth headers.
