How often does the crawler crawl my content?
Answer
Sajari handles crawling in a few different ways: instant updates triggered via a ping-back code snippet, regular crawls and manually requested crawls of either entire Collections or single pages.
Instant indexing with ping-back
If you have the ping-back code installed, we crawl new content and add it to your Collection as soon as the page is visited. When a new page that has . We will also automatically update popular pages on your site when their content and metadata changes.
For sites that don’t have the ping-back code installed is visited, it triggers the ping-back code and a request is sent to the crawler which fetches the page and updates it in the index immediately. For sites that don’t , updates will rely on the regular crawl cycle.
To check if instant indexing is running on your collection visit the Instant Indexing page in your console.
Regular crawls
The regular crawling process runs on every Collection, whether you have the ping-back code installed , the crawler will crawl your site's content every 3-6 days. How to request re-crawl of a specific page without delay:or not. We monitor your collection for any pages that have not been refreshed in the previous week. We then queue and update those pages.
To keep your Collection in closest sync with your website content we recommend in installing the ping-back code to enable Instant Indexing.
Immediately re-crawl a specific page
If you want to request the crawler to re-crawl a specific page of your Collection without waiting for the normal crawl cycle, use the “Diagnose page” button in Domains section of your console to add the URL of the page. Once added, press Diagnose, and the current status of the page will be displayed. Click on “Index Page“ to request a re-crawl of the page and it will be re-indexed immediately.
Re-crawl an entire collection
You can request a re-crawl of an entire collection by visiting the Domains section in your console and selecting “Re-index all domains.” This will add all pages in all of your domains in the Collection to the crawling queue. The speed at which your Collection updates depends on a variety of factors including the size of your collection and speed of your website and can take from a few hours to a day or more.
