Crawl stats provide you the statistical data of your website with the help of Googlebot activity. By considering main factors like page rank, links, traffic and domain age Googlebot crawls your website.
 
Search engines index your website with the use of crawl rate. If the crawl rate of your website is low, automatically traffic of your site decreases, because search engines spend more time to index the website if the rate is low.

Few suggestions to increase crawl rate:

 

1.Update Content Frequently: Search engines Crawler considers unique content as a primary constraint. Though it is difficult task to update content on a regular basis but you should update your content frequently. Update your blogs couple of times in a week to get it crawled by bot more frequently. Blogs are the simplest way to produce new content frequently.
  
2.Optimize Load Time: Page loading time must be short because crawler spends much time on images and java scripts. If this will take more time to load, there will be no time for crawler to visit other pages. So use PNG or JPG formats which will load easily. By making use of W3 cache wordpress plugin you can easily cache a page and display it quickly to the user.

 3. Add Sitemap: Sitemap submission helps Googlebot to crawl your site easily and it also increases the crawl rate. Sitemap is the better way to crawl your new pages and updated blogs. It is easy to submit sitemap for images and videos in wordpress.

4. Get Good Page Rank: Website page rank is a main criterion that determines the crawl rate of your site. Site with high page rank gets crawled by bot regularly. So, to increase page rank of website, you have to build quality inbound links, create unique content and increase SEO score.

Google Algorithm is very strict on this aspect. If it finds the duplicate content, it penalizes and reduces the rank of your website. Duplicate content harms your crawl rate.

6. Use Ping Services: Pinging is a best way, where Goolgebot can know when your site content is updated. Make use of ping services like pingomatic and pingoat to increase crawl rate. Wordpress adds more ping services, where googlebot automatically notifies when new post is updated.
