Google Lag

There has been some speculation that whenever there is a Google core update that Search Console's reporting and data begin to lag and slow.

AJ Cohn wrote "Core algorithm updates seem to create a lag in delivering search console data. It's an interesting pattern." John Mueller of Google responded "It's unrelated, but lag is always awkward. Sorry."

Here are those tweets:

Have you seen such lag after Google core updates or after the May core update?
