But you're assuming location is all that matters. Certain network providers, no matter how close they are to you, just have shitty, overloaded networks.
The cache trick is that Google doesn't need to see dynamic content as much as the user does. Example: Any site that's based on user selection to determine customization. I might need to see recommended content that's based on a very complex algorithm that takes a while to generate the page. Whereas Google just needs to see a page. Cache for Google, generate from scratch for everyone else.
- mseebach 17y agoGoogles crawlers are located all over the place, and especially for the latency score, they should hit the site from a few different locations, as well as different times of day. The cache trick is the same for not-logged-in users as well as for Google. If you're showing the same page to more than one user (and you should be, for your not-logged-in users), you should cache it and show everyone that. If show Google a few hours old version (that you wouldn't want users to see) you'll be punished with the current rules. If you're only showing content to logged-in users, Google can't see anything, anyway.
