Crawl budget
Crawl budget is the number of URLs Googlebot is willing and able to crawl on your site within a given timeframe, set by your site's crawl rate limit and crawl demand.
What it means
The number of URLs Googlebot crawls within a period, driven by crawl rate limit and crawl demand.
Why it matters for indexing
On large or low-authority sites, tight crawl budget means new URLs sit undiscovered for weeks.
How to check it
Use the Crawl Stats report in Search Console to see requests per day and response times.
How FastIndexing helps
Multi-channel submission and authority signals pull Googlebot to your new URLs faster instead of waiting in the queue.
Frequently asked questions
How do I force Google to crawl my website?
You can't force it, but you can prompt it: submit an XML sitemap, request indexing in URL Inspection, strengthen internal links, and fix server errors. Google still decides when to crawl.
Why is Google not crawling my website?
Common causes are robots.txt blocks, server errors or slow responses, low authority / crawl demand, or pages with no internal links (orphans). Check the Crawl Stats report in Search Console.
How often will Google crawl my website?
There's no fixed schedule — frequency depends on site authority, how often content changes, and server health. Popular, frequently-updated sites are crawled more often.
