Google Search Console Crawl Stats Missing September 15 Data
Webmasters checking the Crawl Stats report in Google Search Console will find that a single day of crawl history is missing: September 15th is absent from the chart across every Search Console profile. Google has filled gaps like this in past months, so the missing data point is a reporting issue inside Search Console rather than a problem with any individual site.
What’s missing from the Crawl Stats report
The Crawl Stats report inside Google Search Console tracks how Googlebot has crawled a property, broken down by file type, response code, purpose, and time. For the week containing September 15th, the line on the chart simply drops to nothing for that date. Depending on the time zone used by a given account, the gap may fall on September 15th or September 16th, so what looks like a missing Thursday to one property owner looks like a missing Friday to another.
The gap shows up in every Search Console profile, not just a few sites.
Is this a problem with your site?
No. The crawl stats report pulls from Google’s own crawl logs, and the missing day appears across all profiles. There is nothing to fix in a site’s robots.txt, server configuration, sitemap, or crawl budget settings, because the crawl itself was not interrupted, only the chart of it.
Has Google lost a day of crawl stats before?
Yes. Gaps of this shape have appeared in the Crawl Stats report several times. Past occurrences have surfaced in the previous month, in November 2021, in February 2022, in May 2022, and in October 2025, among others. In each case Google has restored the data after the fact rather than letting the chart stay broken, which is the pattern most likely to repeat here.
What to do while the gap is showing
Wait for Google to repopulate the missing data point. The Crawl Stats report can be opened directly from inside any Search Console property, and the same chart that shows the gap today should refill the September 15th point once Google’s backfill runs. There is no setting inside Search Console to force a refresh of historical crawl data.
For day-to-day monitoring, a quick rank or technical check through a tool like SEOScanPro can confirm that the rest of the site’s signals are healthy while waiting for the chart to catch up.
FAQ
Why is September 15th missing from my Google Search Console Crawl Stats?
The missing data point is a reporting gap inside Google Search Console itself, not a problem with any individual site. It appears across every Search Console profile for the same date.
Will Google bring the September 15th crawl data back?
Past Crawl Stats gaps, including ones reported in the previous month, in November 2021, February 2022, May 2022, and October 2025, were all restored after the fact. Google has historically repopulated the missing day rather than leaving the chart broken.
Should I change anything on my site because of the missing crawl stats day?
No. Because the gap is uniform across all profiles, there is nothing to change in robots.txt, server settings, sitemaps, or crawl budget settings. The recommended action is to wait for Google to refill the chart.
