The Crawl Stats Report is the latest feature to be updated in Google Search Console and it is outstanding. <\/span>Google made this announcement last November 24<\/span><\/a> in the Google Search Central blog and SEOs are quite excited about it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re like me who was able to use the old Google Search Console, you would know that the old Crawl Stats report is not that helpful. This new update gives us more relevant and deeper data on how Google crawls our websites and gives us more room for optimizations.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The update is already live as soon as they announced it. Do take note that the new Crawl Stats Report is only available for verified domain-level properties. If you have subdomains, you\u2019ll be able to see reports for them under the main domain if you\u2019re verified using Domain Verification. If you\u2019re using URL Prefix to verify a subdomain, the report will not be available.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this article, I\u2019ll cover everything that you need to know about the new Crawl Stats Report.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to access Crawl Stats Report<\/span><\/h2>\n

In your verified Google Search Console property, go to Setting and you should be able to see <\/span>Crawl Stats<\/span><\/i>. Then, simply click <\/span>Open Report<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Crawl history<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

In the Crawl Stats report, you can now see the number of Total Crawl Requests that Google made per day in the last 30 days. The Total Crawl Requests includes both successful and failed crawled requests and includes all resources. If Google crawled the same URL twice during this span, they are both counted as individual requests.<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll also be able to see the Total Download Size which is the total bytes Google downloaded from your website during crawling and Average Response Times for all resources.<\/span><\/p>\n

Crawl breakdown<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

The Crawl Breakdown report is divided into 4: Response, File Type, Purpose, and Googlebot type. Clicking them will show sample URLs.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Response table groups URLs per their response when Google crawled them. The majority of it should be 200 (Ok) which means Google was able to successfully crawl them. Some notable response codes are 301 (permanent redirect), 301 (temporary redirect), 404 (not found), and 5xx (server error). If you want to see the full list of response codes that Google identifies in this report, <\/span>click here<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

File type lists the type of file that was returned after the request. The majority of this should be HTML. Other possible values according to <\/span>Search Console Help<\/span><\/a> include:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
