Is there a way to limit Google’s crawl rate?

If Google is making too many requests per second to your site and slowing down your server, you can limit how fast Google crawls your site. You can limit the crawl rate for root-level sites—for example, www.example.com and http://subdomain.example.com. The crawl rate that you set is the maximum crawl rate that Googlebot should make.

Why does Google take so long to crawl my website?

When your site doesn’t have enough quality inbound links, Google will not crawl your site very quickly. You can imagine it doesn’t necessarily want to spend much time on a site that it doesn’t consider important. When your site is brand new, this will be the case. So, when you need more crawl action on your site, start doing some link building.

When does the crawl limit go up or down?

The crawl capacity limit can go up and down based on a few factors: Crawl health: If the site responds quickly for a while, the limit goes up, meaning more connections can be used to crawl. If the site slows down or responds with server errors, the limit goes down and Googlebot crawls less.

Can you change the crawl rate of Googlebot?

We recommend against limiting the crawl rate unless you are seeing server load problems that are definitely caused by Googlebot hitting your server too hard. You cannot change the crawl rate for sites that are not at the root level—for example, www.example.com/folder.
