A website’s crawl frequency refers to the frequency at which search engine crawlers visit a website’s pages in order to update its indexing information. Websites with a higher crawl frequency will have new information seen, analysed and successfully indexed sooner than those with a lower crawl frequency.
The crawl frequency of any website is determined by search engine algorithms, which take a website’s domain authority and the frequency of content updates into account. Sites with higher authority that are constantly posting new material will have a higher crawl rate than those that are static and rarely updated.
