<b>There's no schedule. Googlebot doesn't crawl your site on a timetable</b>

People talk about crawl frequency like it's a setting: "Google crawls my homepage every 3 days." It isn't a clock. It's a continuously recalculated estimate of when your content is likely to have changed, per URL, and it shifts constantly.

Google models change rate page by page. A homepage that updates hourly gets a tight re-crawl interval; a 2019 archive that never moves gets a long one. Same site, wildly different cadences, all adaptive. There's no global "crawl rate" for your domain that you can read off a dashboard and tune.

This is why "how do I get Google to crawl more often" is the wrong question. The right one is "does my content actually change enough to deserve it."

Googlebot doesn't follow a schedule. It follows your change history.
