Why is there a delay between GSC and Cromojo?

Why your numbers don’t always match instantly

Sometimes you’ll submit a page or see a change in Google Search Console, but Cromojo shows something slightly different for a while. That’s expected. Here’s why, and how often Cromojo refreshes.

What’s happening

Cromojo pulls indexing data from Google Search Console, and Google itself reports that data on a delay (it isn’t real-time). So there’s a natural lag between an action and the status updating everywhere.

How often Cromojo refreshes

Cromojo syncs with Google Search Console regularly to refresh each page’s indexing status, and shows the latest status Google has reported. When you submit a page, Google still decides when to crawl and index it, which can take anywhere from hours to days. Search performance data (clicks, impressions, queries) is imported daily, and Google publishes it 2 to 3 days late.

What to do

  • Give it time, statuses usually catch up within hours to a day or two.

  • Remember that submitting a page asks Google to crawl it sooner, but Google still decides when to crawl and index.

  • If a status still looks wrong after a few days, contact support@cromojo.com.
