When is the last time Google crawled my site

[digitalops]

How do I tell the last  time Google crawled my site. I found out it is not the "Cache" which I had thought it was.

Hi Adam,

I would recommend adding your site to Google Webmaster Tools, this will give you under Diagnostics data about the Crawl statistics from Google. This will tell you:

• The number of pages crawled per day.
• Kilobytes downloaded per day.
• Time spent downloading a page (in milliseconds)

Which in the end will look like this provided with graphs.

Hi Adam,

As far as I know it is from the "Cache" only, you find out the last time google had crawled your site.

You can use the link Determing the last time google visited your site, to check how to find the last time google had crawled your site.

You can also try searching in google "cache:http://insertURLhere.com" and it directly gives you the time it had had saved.

Even tough if google had crawled your site and if there are no changes in your website it does not update its cached copy, it just keeps the old one only.

So, it is recommended to update the contents of your site more often.
