Google Snapshot

The folks at Screaming Frog said on Twitter that their tests indicate GoogleBot is willing to wait about five seconds for its snapshot of rendered content. John Mueller of Google said that time sounds reasonable but they do not have a specific time because "it can vary significantly for reasons like caching."

John Mueller from Google responded:
