1. What Determines Crawl Frequency?
Google prioritizes crawls based on: site authority (more backlinks = more crawls), update frequency (fresh content), crawl budget (limited by server speed), and technical signals (sitemap, robots).
2. How NakedURL Helps with Crawling
We check if your sitemap.xml is accessible and contains URLs. We verify robots.txt doesn't block Googlebot. We count internal links to see if important pages are well‑connected. We also measure content freshness.
3. How to Get More Crawls
Submit an updated sitemap in Google Search Console. Add new content regularly. Fix broken internal links. Improve site speed to increase crawl budget.
- Create and submit a complete sitemap
- Ensure robots.txt allows Googlebot
- Add internal links to important pages
- Publish fresh content regularly
⚠️ The Problem
Poor crawl setup means Google misses your content
- No sitemap – Google can't find all pages
- Robots.txt blocking – Google can't crawl
- Weak internal links – deep pages never discovered
- No fresh content – less frequent crawls
