How often does Google visit a site?
A website’s popularity, crawlability, and structure all factor into how long it will take Google to index a site. In general, Googlebot will find its way to a new website between four days and four weeks. However, this is a projection and some users have claimed to be indexed in less than a day.

How many requests does Googlebot make per second?
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.
Why does Google make so many requests per second?
Our goal is to crawl as many pages from your site as we can on each visit without overwhelming your server’s bandwidth. 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.
Can you change how often Google crawls a website?
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. Google has sophisticated algorithms to determine the optimal crawl speed for a site.
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.
