The Error In Google’s CrawlingImpacted Some Websites Last Week (11th Nov-17th Nov)

It was seen that Googlebot slowed crawling on some of the websites between 11th November and 17th November.

It was confirmed by Google’s John Muller that between 11 November 2021 and 17 November 2021, a bug prevented Google from crawling for the AMP cache.

It was specifically said that “We saw that crawling for the AMP cache had slowed down for some sites.”It was also added that, “this particular bug has been resolved since, after an internal analysis it was confirmed that the crawling was not widespread and thus, there were no negative effects overall.”
