Google only considers the first 15MB of a file for indexing

[searchenginejournal.com...]

“Any resources referenced in the HTML such as images, videos, CSS and JavaScript are fetched separately. After the first 15 MB of the file, Googlebot stops crawling and only considers the first 15 MB of the file for indexing. The file size limit is applied on the uncompressed data.”

With all the inline stuff nowadays on the likes of Squarespace I can see why the limit is so generous. Way more than their initial 100KB 20 years ago.

15MB of html per page, that's huge !.!.!

Always good to hear the latest tips on the big G, especially for those who've been away from SEO for a while. Thanks.
