There was some confusion round how Google handles pages that could be extra expensive for Google Search to crawl, render, index and serve – i.e. JavaScript pages. Google doesn’t have a financial price range per web site, when it comes to it can spend $X of crawling price range in your web site.
Sure, websites do have a crawl price range, however not when it comes to price, extra when it comes to sources. You may examine Google’s official documentation on the subject.
That being stated, Martin Splitt of Google stated on LinkedIn, “We do not preserve observe of “how costly was this web page for us?” or one thing.” He added, “You need not fear about the truth that rendering is dear, we received you lined.”
Martin goes on to elucidate that crawling is dear and so are different components of search. Google’s final aim is to indicate probably the most related end result, regardless of how costly that end result could price. “Google Search’s aim is to supply customers with related content material for his or her queries. We’re not good at doing this for all queries on a regular basis, however let’s give attention to JavaScript right here for a second,” he wrote.
“Google Search does numerous issues which might be difficult and costly (storage, bandwith, groups across the globe to maintain all of it operating 24/7), and so on. – JavaScript is one tiny a part of that,” he goes on to elucidate.
Martin then defined that JavaScript is a part of the net and certain rising. “We all know {that a} substantial a part of the net makes use of JavaScript so as to add, take away, change content material on internet pages. We simply should render, to see all of it. It would not actually matter if a web page does or doesn’t use JavaScript, as a result of we will solely be moderately positive to see all content material as soon as it is rendered,” he wrote.
So having extra “costly” pages to crawl doesn’t imply Google will not crawl it – they’ll.
