How long does google takes to crawl a single site ?

[Sam09schulz]

lately i have been thinking , when a  crawler visits an already visited site  or indexed site, whats the duration of its scanning?

My Friend, It is different with each website and its different every day.

You can see it in 2 ways.

1. By setting up and checking your server logs.

2. Google is showing you  how many pages they crawled each day and how long it took them  in the Crawl Stats chart in Search Consol (Legacy tools)

I wish you all the best!

If you update your website 'frequently' the crawler will be more there, if you dont update your website frequently the crawler will slowly back down. Ive had a client's website not updated in perhaps 2 years. We installed a complete new website with new content and it took months for it to be completely re-indexed.

No you got me wrong my question was when crawler visit the website how much time does it spends there , like one hour two hours

It just indexes your pages. That could be done in less then a minute if it wanted. If you have everything structured with for example an up to date sitemap, no 404's or anything then your good to go really. Crawl speed is a factor on how much time it spends on the website. Crawl speed is mandatory when google is requesting alot of pages at the same time that could slow it down, or be triggered by a firewall for having too much connections at the same time.

Really these things are usually something from the past. If you want a quick index throw in a link on social media for example or get a quality link from some other place that's indexed more often.

and how would i know that there are some sites which are indexed more often. any factors?

actually i want my editorial backlinks to get indexed. those links are just not indexed and its been 6 months, ichecked in google search and search console.

I have same issue too. I have built couple of back links and still waiting for the index

Update frequency, i.e how many times your updating, and value of the website for google.  Ive seen my own website being crawled daily at some point.

You could do "site:yoururl.com" in google search to see what's indexed in Google.
