Clarified information about the default file size limits for Googlebot
: While moving over the information about the default file size limits of
Google's crawlers and fetchers to the
crawler documentation
,
we also updated the
Googlebot documentation
about its own file size limits.
Why
: The original location of the default file size limits was not the most logical
place as it applies to all of Google's crawlers and fetchers, and the move enabled us to
be more precise about Googlebot's limits.
Brand Impact
Google has updated its documentation about web crawling file size limits, consolidating information to provide clearer guidance about how its search crawler processes different types of web content. This documentation change could subtly influence how websites structure their content to ensure optimal visibility and indexing by Google's search systems, potentially affecting which web pages and brands appear more prominently in search results.
