A Reddit thread about a sharp crawl drop prompted guidance from Google’s John Mueller. Here’s how to diagnose the cause.
- Sudden crawl drops are more consistent with 429/500/503 responses or timeouts than with 404s.
- Once issues are fixed, crawl rates should recover, though it can take time.
- There’s no defined timeline for recovery.
