[Mustansar]

It seems like my profile (especially points) is not been updated since the start of this week. any possible reason?

Hi Ikkie,

As explained previously, MozPoints don't automatically update due to caching. Caching makes those internet pages load way faster. You have caching in your browser and cookie-related caching, which means if you're constantly checking the page, you're going to see the same version. We have site-wide caching at Moz. We get somewhere around 2 million visitors to Moz.com each month, and in order to load our site faster, we don't update everything on it in real time. One of these things is MozPoints, which are database driven and refreshes to that database take time. There's a ton of studies about site speed out there that tell you things like 40% of your visitors will leave your site if the page doesn't load within 3 seconds. It's great that you care so much about earning MozPoints. They are definitely being kept track of just fine, even if your page due to multiple layers of caching doesn't appear so, it just means that those points don't show up right away. And yes, sometimes that's a week.

Thanks,
