Fast SERP for Google
Some use cases require faster Google Search responses and do not need advanced SERP features such as AI Overview extraction or extended page parsing.
To support these use cases, NetNut’s SERP API offers Fast SERP extraction for Google searches via the fastSerp parameter.
This feature is designed to return the main Google organic results faster by focusing on the core SERP data points and reducing additional processing.
Fast SERP is recommended when the main requirement is receiving Google organic results quickly and consistently.
