Recommended Cadence by Page Type
| Page Type | Suggested Cadence | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Homepage / Landing Pages | Daily | Reflects constant content and metadata updates |
Product Collections / Categories | Weekly | Maintains visibility for changing product sets |
Blog / Editorial Content | Weekly | Ensures recent posts remain current |
Evergreen Articles | Monthly | Suitable for content with minimal change |
Legal / Policy Pages | Monthly | Low priority; rarely updated |
Adjusting Cadence
Adjust each URL's cadence in the Frequency column of your URL Dashboard.
Balancing Freshness and Credits
The key to optimization is matching your refresh frequency to your content update patterns. Pages that change daily should refresh daily, while static pages can refresh monthly without losing visibility.
Daily
High-impact pages
Best for homepage, landing pages, and frequently updated content
