Google: всплески в сканировании не связаны с предстоящими апдейтами

Lots of sites are seeing spikes in crawl rates starting Jan 12.

To check – GSC ➡️ Settings ➡️ Crawl stats

We've got several sites with big increases in crawling, all refresh crawls. https://t.co/8hZhkkDIzW

Isn’t this common before core updates? ?

h/t @glenngabe for digging this up yesterday https://t.co/p074bAIvFk

Yep. Google seems to recrawl large parts of the index before core updates.

The question is “why?” Maybe to recalculate certain rank-related variables across many sites. Maybe to update its corpus at the same time. Maybe…??‍♂️

That's not really true. Google has explained that's a myth. It would be due to big site changes causing the spike in crawling and not the upcoming algo update. I haven't seen any connection there either (based on helping many sites impacted by broad core updates).

Yeah, it's unrelated. I mean, there's always something launching after a spike in crawling, but there's also always something launching.

I suspect some of the nuance got lost there, surprise. What I was trying to say here was that we're always working on improvements, so anything (full moon, more crawling, sunshine, email-flood) and nothing () will be followed by improvements launching. They're unreleated.
