How often does Google Search Console update its data?

Different reports update on different schedules:

• Performance (clicks & impressions) - Updated daily, but with a 2–4 day delay. The most recent 2–3 days may be incomplete.
• Index coverage / Pages report - Updates frequently, often within 24 hours of Googlebot crawling a page
• Core Web Vitals - Updated weekly based on the Chrome User Experience Report (CrUX) dataset
• Links report - Updates periodically, not in real time

There is no real-time data in Google Search Console. For the freshest performance data, look at dates from 3+ days ago.

How AutoPSEO helps

AutoPSEO shows the settled-through date of your data on every report and stores up to 10 years of history for full-storage properties, so the 16-month window in Search Console stops being a limit for year-over-year analysis.
