Google has lastly finished away with the crawl charge setting inside the legacy Google Search Console. It now redirects to the weblog publish concerning the function going away.
A few months in the past, Google informed us the crawl rate setting is going away. And it did. The legacy function to manage how briskly Google crawls your web site went away on January 8, 2024, as Google stated.
That function launched 15 years ago however Google by no means migrated it to the brand new model of Search Console. Gary Illyes from Google stated, “with the enhancements we have made to our crawling logic and different instruments accessible to publishers, its usefulness has dissipated.”
Glenn Gabe noticed it going away yesterday:
