    Content Freshness Tracking#

    Why It Matters#

    Search engines favour fresh content. Stale pages can hurt your rankings and provide outdated information to visitors.

    What LemWatch Tracks#

  1. Last modified date for each page
  2. Average days since update across your site
  3. Stale page count — pages not updated in 90+ days
  4. Never-updated pages — pages that have never had a modification date

    5. Freshness Alerts#

    Get notified when:

  5. A key page hasn't been updated in 30+ days
  6. Your site's average freshness drops below your threshold
  7. A previously active section goes stale

    8. Best Practices#

  8. Update key landing pages at least monthly
  9. Add "last updated" dates to articles and documentation
  10. Review and refresh cornerstone content quarterly
  11. Remove or redirect truly obsolete content
    12. Was this article helpful?
