Allow to ignore specific problem for specific page / URL

Peter Olvecký

For example, we don't insist on blog articles having manually defined meta descriptions. It would be great if we could mark these URLs so that they are not reported as Errors or other problems for this specific issue.

Yes! SEMrush has this feature and I used it heavily there.

Yes, please. Absolutely.
I have hundreds of issues displayed in reports that are not actually issues - for example, Facebook and Zoominfo pixels that are marked as "missing alt text". I couldn't care less about missing alt text for pixels in <noscript> tags, yet Ahrefs keeps showing them, and ignoring the respective URLs in crawl settings doesn't change that. These pixels are all over the site, which means even if I fix alt text for all other images, I'll still have the exact same number of pages marked with this warning because each of them will have at least one pixel.
Another example is a 400 or 500 resulting from OAuth redirect chains in my app subdomain that do not happen in browsers but only occur with curl-based crawling. These are not real issues and will never be fixed, but will I disable 4xx and 5xx errors in audits? No way!

This would still be a good idea. Support tell me to either exclude the page from the entire audit, or turn off the issue for the entire site. Neither of these options are any use.
