Google's Quality Updates Can Influence Crawling & Indexing

By RK Desk

We already are aware of the significance and impact of Google's algorithm rollouts and updates that happen every now and then.

Google intends to launch these updates to maximise the quality of the user's experience.

Now Google's John Mueller said again that its quality updates, like core updates and the others in the family, can not just impact the ranking of a page in Google Search but also how Google crawls.

John said on Mastodon, "a lot of the quality updates that we make over time can affect crawling and indexing too."

He further explained, "a simplified way to see it is if Google doesn't think it's worth showing large parts of a site in search, it's not worthwhile to spend time crawling and indexing it all."

He also added, "also, even for good sites, we tend not to crawl and index everything because there's just so much other content on the web too."
