# MaxPageAge

DEPRECATED: This parameter is deprecated in Web Connector version 11.5.0 and later. Micro Focus recommends that you use the parameter MinPageDate instead.

The `MaxPageAge` parameter is still available for existing implementations, but it might be incompatible with new functionality. The parameter might be removed in future.

The maximum age that a page can reach and still be ingested. The connector does not ingest pages that are older than the specified age, though links from these pages might still be followed, depending on the value of SpiderDateFilteredPages.

To filter pages by date the connector must be able to extract a date from the page URL, page content, or HTTP headers. Configure how to extract the date by setting DateInUrl, PageDateSelector, or PageDateHeader.

TIP: This parameter configures a rolling limit. For example, some pages might be ingested when you first synchronize with a Web site. On the next synchronize cycle, any pages that exceed the maximum age are removed from IDOL. To specify a fixed date limit, use the parameter MaxPageDate instead.

Type: | Time duration The value of this parameter is a time duration. Specify a value using one or more of the following units:
         years      y
         months     m
         weeks      w
         days       d
         hours      h
         minutes    n
         seconds    s
Note that months abbreviates to m, minutes to n. If you want to specify the value in seconds, units are not required. For example, all of the following are equivalent:
         1minute 3seconds
         1n 3s
         63s
         63
Default: | No limit
