| Report | Update Frequency |
|---|---|
| Performance (clicks, impressions) | 2–4 day delay |
| Pages / Coverage report | Updated regularly as Google crawls |
| URL Inspection tool | Near real-time |
| Core Web Vitals | 28-day rolling average; ~daily updates |
| Sitemaps | After each fetch by Google |

Practical tip: When analyzing recent performance, exclude the last 3–4 days to avoid incomplete data skewing your analysis. For comparing periods, use full weeks.
