Differences between website indexing and scanning


So, we figured out what indexing a site in search engines is. However, there is also the term "scanning". This is not indexing pages, but moving a robot from one page to another.

The term "crawling" means sending a bot to the analyzed site, indexing is the process of downloading, processing and collecting data, after which the resource is included in the search engine gmx email list index. As for scanning, it does not mean that the site address has been indexed and will be given to users as a result of their search queries.

A web address is indexed after it has been crawled. Not every page that is crawled is indexed, but every page that is indexed was crawled in the first place.

The crawl budget is the maximum amount of data that a search engine receives from a domain as a result of a robot's visit. To make this amount of data as large as possible, two aspects must be taken into account:

scan speed limit;

acceleration of site indexing.

Search robots try to crawl as many URLs as possible during one visit to a site. If the crawling speed is limited, they will crawl without overloading the server. If the crawler loads too many pages at once, the site will take too long to load. Users may simply leave without waiting for the process to finish.
