: Is the Google cache of my site = the last time they indexed it? The Google cache of my web is a week old, and I would have expected them to have visited the site since then and indexed

@Carla537

I have been watching the updates and there is definitely a lag.

So today (Saturday), Google posted a new cache of my site from Wednesday. The site has been updated since Wednesday. Also, the previous cache was from last Saturday, about 3-4 days previous to Wednesday.

Basically what this means is that (at least for my site) Google is visiting it every 3 days, then updating its cache 3 days later. So, there appears to be a 3-day lag between the time a site is crawled and the cache is updated.
