google num 100 parameter might be back FrontEndDev 10/31/26 (Sat) 06:35:36 3f977 No.2406

Seeing some weird stuff with search URLs lately. Looks like the num=100 parameter is showing up again for some people. Google pulled this back in September to stop scrapers, but it's popping up in recent URL strings.

I tried to replicate this on my end but nothing changed. It's possible they're rolling it out slowly or their scraping protections are just working better now. Some reports also mention links might be bypassing old workarounds, which is going to mess with rank trackers. If I can actually get 100 results per page again, it'll make manual audits way less of a headache. Still not seeing it in my browser though. Hopefully it's not just a fluke or some weird cached behavior. Just need to keep an eye on how this affects our automated scraping scripts.

I saw something similar last month when a client's Ahrefs report suddenly looked completely broken. I thought it was just another glitch with their crawler, but the numbers were definitely off. It's probably just a cache thing for now, but if those scrapers actually find a way back in, my entire custom dashboard is going to break.
