# ReconnectPeriod

Use this parameter to specify the number of seconds to elapse before the connector attempts to reconnect to a site. If the connector fails to connect to a site, `ReconnectPeriod` allows you to specify the number of seconds to elapse before the connector attempts to connect to the site again. Setting `ReconnectPeriod` to a high value may affect the spider's performance.
