How much time should I wait between Crawl Tests?

[md3]

Hello!

I ask because it has happened before (and again this morning) that after doing a crawl test and repairing my site per the errors found in Moz's crawl test it still finds the same error. Even though I fixed them.

Typically I do a re-crawl 6 hours after or the next day and I find the same errors. I know they are fixed because a couple of days go by and finally Moz gets it right.

I had understood that the crawl test was an "on-demand" crawl of sorts, granted with limit of 2 a day. But it seems that if you re-crawl your site within a day the same results yield? It's frustrating.

Is this correct?

Thank you!

Ahoy!

Erin here. I'm a lead on the Help Team here at Moz! Sorry for the confusion! Our Crawl Test data is actually cached for 48 hours, which is why you're seeing the same issues after 6 hours/same day after you've made fixes. In order to get the most accurate results, you'll want to wait at least 48 hours between Crawl Tests.

I hope this helps, and if you have any other questions, feel free to shoot us an email at help@moz.com!

Yours til the Chocolate Chips,
