Google Caffeine – Live Indexing? That Must be a Joke
2 months ago today Google Caffeine went live, it promised live indexing which would lead to fresher results, sadly between 25th July right up to now Google’s crawling seems to be at snail pace, for example before and just after caffeine any blog post I published took around 10 minutes to be cached and indexed.
The most recent pages/post published took just a little longer, up to 5 days to be indexed. Why would a search engine which promotes live indexing take 5 days to cache and index a blog post or page of content, when the site-map has been updated and submitted and Google has been pinged the URL? personally I think the servers are under strain with an unexpected amount of pages being published and a heck of allot of crawl errors slowing down the bot.
I make these assumptions because many peopleĀ will be redeveloping their websites due to everyone wanting to use HTML5 , because of this many people will just redo the content, change the URL structure (maybe mess up 301′s along the way). Anyway that’s just what I think, if you have any opinions please post a comment
P.S Im going to track how long this post takes to be indexed!
