      HTTP Compression
      Having a large website and millions of pages or URLs means a crawler takes a long time to crawl and index your entire site
      XML Sitemaps and proper link strategy aren’t always enough
      HTTP Compression works like a .zip file
      Reduces download time for users and crawlers
      Conditional GET
      Do your pages change often?
      Why waste time having crawlers re-spider your site?
      Tell browsers and crawlers that your pages haven’t changed
      Improves index coverage quickly
