Understanding the Data

High Cache Hit Rate (Good)

A cache hit rate above 80% indicates:
  • Bots are receiving fast responses
  • Your content is being efficiently served
  • Prerendering resources are optimized

Low Cache Hit Rate

A rate below 50% may indicate:
  • Many unique pages being crawled
  • Frequent content updates
  • Cache expiring before recrawls
Solutions:
  • Ensure pages are in your sitemap
  • Trigger manual recrawls after updates
  • Use batch recrawl for frequently updated pages

No Crawl Activity

If you see zero crawls:
  1. Verify DNS is configured - Check domain status badge
  2. Check subscription status - Ensure active plan
  3. Wait for indexing - New domains take time
  4. Submit to Search Console - Request indexing
