How long does google takes to crawl a single site ?
-
lately i have been thinking , when a crawler visits an already visited site or indexed site, whats the duration of its scanning?
-
The time it takes for Google to crawl a site can vary depending on several factors. Google uses sophisticated algorithms to determine how frequently to crawl a site and how much of the site's content to crawl. Generally, smaller and less frequently updated sites might be crawled more quickly, while larger and more frequently updated sites might take longer.
Additionally, factors like the site's server speed, the number of pages, the complexity of the site's structure, and the server's response time can all impact how quickly Google crawls a site. Google also prioritizes sites based on various factors like the site's authority, relevance, and user demand.
While there is no fixed time frame for Google to crawl a single site, it typically aims to keep its index up to date and ensure that the most relevant content is available to users. If you have concerns about the crawl rate of your site, you can try optimizing your site's structure, improving server speed, and generating fresh and relevant content to potentially encourage more frequent crawling.

best use indexing plugin for WordPress
when i tried to update my site Punarjan Ayurveda it shows already indexed -
Recently I am experiencing a lot of deindexing and indexing randomly, what could be the reason and solution?
-
For faster indexing, the following conditions must be met:
- The content is thick enough for the google bot to understand the website
- Make sure the onpage optimization is good enough for the google bot to go through the pages according to the anchor text
- Website needs to have trust and be identified on google.
When the website was ranked as high as the top 3 of the big keywords, within 2 hours the content was indexed.
-
You could do "site:yoururl.com" in google search to see what's indexed in Google.
-
Update frequency, i.e how many times your updating, and value of the website for google. Ive seen my own website being crawled daily at some point.
-
I have same issue too. I have built couple of back links and still waiting for the index
-
and how would i know that there are some sites which are indexed more often. any factors?
actually i want my editorial backlinks to get indexed. those links are just not indexed and its been 6 months, ichecked in google search and search console.
-
It just indexes your pages. That could be done in less then a minute if it wanted. If you have everything structured with for example an up to date sitemap, no 404's or anything then your good to go really. Crawl speed is a factor on how much time it spends on the website. Crawl speed is mandatory when google is requesting alot of pages at the same time that could slow it down, or be triggered by a firewall for having too much connections at the same time.
Really these things are usually something from the past. If you want a quick index throw in a link on social media for example or get a quality link from some other place that's indexed more often.

No you got me wrong my question was when crawler visit the website how much time does it spends there , like one hour two hours

If you update your website 'frequently' the crawler will be more there, if you dont update your website frequently the crawler will slowly back down. Ive had a client's website not updated in perhaps 2 years. We installed a complete new website with new content and it took months for it to be completely re-indexed.

My Friend, It is different with each website and its different every day.
You can see it in 2 ways.
-
By setting up and checking your server logs.
-
Google is showing you how many pages they crawled each day and how long it took them in the Crawl Stats chart in Search Consol (Legacy tools)
I wish you all the best!

Recent Google algorithm update?
Two of our clients have experienced a huge dip in organic rankings during the past week or so and we haven't done anything that would cause this. Have there been any major Google changes reported lately? I'm not seeing anything reported here: https://moz.com/google-algorithm-change. Thanks for your input. Eric

SEO for mobile sites?
Let's say I have an ecommerce site and it has a separate theme via device detection. So I may even have different content on the pages. So for example, on desktop, on mysite.com/flowers I have a video about flowers. But on mobile, I have 10 000 words of text. Will this page rank better for people searching via mobile? Will google give different search rankings, based on desktop vs. mobile? Or how is Google calculating this? Are there any good mobile SEO tips or a knowhow base?

New Google Update In The Past Two Days???
Was there a new Google update in the past couple of days. Traffic on my test site has gone from ~ 1,000 per day to over 4,000 per day for no particular reason. Most of the traffic is still coming from Google and is not the result of any new major links. My keyword rankings also appear to be the same ...

Google Maps marker inconsistency
We just discovered that depending on the address format you enter into Google, you may come across incorrectly placed marker locations on Google Maps. Is this because our Google Places address format is not consistent with Google Maps' format? If so, when I go into Google Places to update the address format, am I going to have to go through the citation process all over again?

Would the last Google Update have caused this? Bing and Yahoo went UP and google dropped right out http://i.imgur.com/vP8Uvu8.jpg The red box is the keyword in question, but many others dropped out of top 50 Anyone have any ideas on what I should look for or which update could be responsible?

Why have organic hits to my site suddenly started to fluctuate widely?
Hits to my website have been gradually growing over the last 2 years to a point where there was 1300 organics a day. Recently the hits crashed to 300 a day and stayed there for a couple of days. They then bounced back to 1300 a day for a few more days before crashing down to 300 again. This has happened a few times now. Oscillating between two points. Its like the site is crossing a threshold of something, back and forth. I have looked at different parts of my site and every part is down by approximately the same percentage. Anyone out there have any ideas?

Google seems to have penalised one section of our site? Is that possible?
We have a page rank 5 website and we launched a new site 6 months ago in February. Initially we had horrible urls with a bunch of numbers and stuff and we since changed them to lovely human readable urls. This had an excellent effect across the site except on one section of the site: http://www.allaboutcareers.com/careers/graduate-employers Although Google has indexed these pages and several have a PR 2 they do not appear in Google when previously they were on page 1 when we had the old urls. We figured we just needed some time for Google to get used to it, but it hasn't done anything. It is also worth mentioning we changed the page titles from: FIRM NAME | DOMAIN NAME then... FIRM NAME | Graduate Scheme, Jobs, Internships & Apprenticeships | DOMAIN NAME then.. FIRM NAME | Graduate Scheme, Jobs, Internships & Apprenticeships Do you think these are being penalised? There are two types of page: Example A: http://www.allaboutcareers.com/careers/graduates/addleshaw-goddard.htm Example B: http://www.allaboutcareers.com/careers/graduates/accenture.htm
