# RankPages

A Boolean value that specifies whether to rank pages by importance, based on their depth, the number of links from other pages, and the amount of time since they were last modified. The connector adds the rank to a document field named `AUTN_RANK`.

The default algorithm produces a value from 0 to 1000, where 0 is the minimum importance and 1000 the maximum.

If you want to use your own algorithm, see the parameter PageRankLuaScript.

TIP: You might need to configure the connector to extract the last modified date from web pages. See Date Parameters.

TIP: Ranking pages produces the best results when the connector crawls a site by following links. When you configure the connector to ingest pages from a sitemap, the depth of every page is the same and the connector does not count the number of links.
