Скачать или смотреть Googlebot Crawl Slump? Mueller Points To Server Errors

🚨 Noticed Googlebot crawling your site less?
Before you panic about rankings — it might not be an SEO issue at all.

A recent Reddit thread showed a sharp crawl drop, and Google’s John Mueller jumped in with some simple advice:
➡ Check your server health first.

Here’s why 👇

💡 If Googlebot hits server errors (5xx, timeouts, slow responses), it will reduce crawl activity to avoid overloading your site.
Less crawling = fewer pages refreshed in the index = slower updates in search results.

✅ What you should check immediately:

Server logs for spikes in errors

Hosting performance during peak traffic

CDN / caching setup to ensure faster delivery

Error reports in Google Search Console

⚠️ Many site owners blame “Google algorithm changes” when the real culprit is technical health.

💬 The takeaway:
SEO isn’t just about keywords and backlinks — your infrastructure is part of your ranking strategy.

Have you ever had rankings drop due to server issues instead of SEO mistakes?
