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.

How to monitor your site’s Google crawl profile?

Here are the key steps to monitoring your site’s crawl profile: See if Googlebot is encountering availability issues on your site. See whether you have pages that aren’t being crawled, but should be.

What’s the crawl budget for a Google site?

What does it mean when Google crawls your site?

The term crawl rate means how many requests per second Googlebot makes to your site when it is crawling it: for example, 5 requests per second. You cannot change how often Google crawls your site, but if you want Google to crawl new or updated content on your site, you can request a recrawl.
