What the Bing crawler is doing right now
Crawl surfaces live Bing crawl statistics and reported URL issues in one place — visibility into the crawler itself that Google Search's own reporting doesn't expose.
A tool Google Search has no equivalent for
Two cards make up the report: Crawl statistics, which tracks how Bing's crawler is behaving on this domain, and Crawl issues, which lists the URL-level problems Bing has reported. Nothing here comes from Google Search Console — it's Bing-only, direct from Bing Webmaster Tools. There's no date range picker: Crawl always shows Bing's own live window, roughly the trailing six months day by day, not whatever range is set elsewhere in reports.
- ✓Crawl statistics — live Bing crawl activity on this domain.
- ✓Crawl issues — URL-level problems Bing's crawler has reported.
- ✓A dedicated crawlability check — no Google Search equivalent, giving direct visibility into Bing's own crawler.
- ✓No date range control — Crawl always shows Bing's own live window, not a range chosen elsewhere.
- ✓Each line is normalized to its own peak — crawled pages and crawl errors plot on independent 0-100 scales, so line height compares timing and shape, not a raw pages-to-errors ratio.
- ✓Catch a crawl problem before it costs rankings — an issue reported here explains a page's absence elsewhere in Bing reporting before you go looking for content reasons.
- ✓Pairs with URL submission — once an issue is fixed, submit the URL so Bing recrawls it rather than waiting.
Is Bing crawling, and is it finding problems
Crawl statistics answers whether Bing's crawler is active on this domain and how it's behaving; Crawl issues answers what it found wrong along the way. Read together, they explain gaps that show up elsewhere in Bing reporting — a page missing from Pages or Directories often has its explanation sitting in Crawl issues first.
- ✓Crawl statistics — how actively and how recently Bing has crawled this domain.
- ✓Crawl issues — the specific URL-level problems Bing's crawler reported.
- ✓Read before Pages or Directories — a crawl issue often explains an absence you'd otherwise chase as a content problem.
Two lines, two separate scales — read shape, not height
Crawled pages (blue) and crawl errors (rose) each stretch to fill their own 0-100 height, independently — Bing's crawl volume is usually orders of magnitude larger than its error count, and without separate scaling the error line would flatten to nothing. That means a rose line as tall as the blue one shows both are near their own peak, not that errors equal crawled pages. Hover any date for the real numbers. Legend buttons can hide either line, with at least one always left visible. Issue codes are shown exactly as Bing returns them: a raw integer with no built-in decoding, so pair a code with Bing's own documentation or Webmaster Tools UI to learn what it means.
- ✓Independent 0-100 scaling — each series is normalized to its own peak, so height compares timing and shape, not a real ratio.
- ✓Hover for the real numbers — both series are localized whole numbers on hover and at the line ends.
- ✓Legend toggles either line — one series can be hidden at a time; at least one stays visible.
- ✓Issue codes aren't decoded here — Am I Cited shows Bing's raw numeric code, not a translated cause; check Bing's own tools for what a code means.
- ✓An honest empty state — with nothing reported, Crawl issues says so directly instead of showing a table with nothing in it.
