Hi Mark

Thanks for your comment.

Yes, for both scenarios. Especially for the first case, it will speed up the time needed for Google to process the changes.

Thanks

Hello,

Thank you very much for this informative post. I have a question. I have a food blog on wordpress. I’ve got 2 scenarios: 1. Old post is not ranking. I update almost all of the content of that post. Do I ask Google to recrawl manually? 2. Old post is ranking well. I want to update to add more content. Should I ask Google to recrawl? Will I lose ranking if I updated the content for the better?

Thanks again!

Hi, i changed my whole website, so almost every url i get on google search results are obsolete and lead to 404 page. I send the new sitemap to google search console. How much it will take to recrawl? Is there another way to tell google that old urls are old?
Thanks!

Hi Tom

For two reasons: First is that there is a limit in the number of times you can request a re-crawl and second is that if you have a sitemap already submitted, Google will find the new pages pretty fast from the sitemap.

Don’t worry about someone copying your posts, Google is good at understanding where a page was first published.

I hope this helps
