Summary tool

The Summary tool enables you to confirm whether Bing is crawling and indexing your website. You can easily check the status of your website and see basic data about the last crawl of your website, including the approximate date of that crawl and the number of webpages indexed. You also get a list showing the five webpages on your website that have been given the highest webpage scores by Bing.

• Last crawled

  Gives the approximate date that MSNBot (The Bing web crawler, a program that scans websites and indexes their content, such as text, documents, images, and links, for searching.) last visited your website. This is typically accurate within a couple days.

• Domain score

  Provides a measurement of how authoritative Bing views your domain to be, with five green boxes being the highest rating and five empty boxes being the lowest. This is based on many of the same factors Bing uses to determine static rank (A query-independent ranking of a webpage by a search engine. The static rank of a webpage provides a general indicator to the overall quality of the webpage.) , but isn't directly comparable.

• Indexed pages

  Estimates the number of webpages from your domain that Bing has indexed. Because of the distributed method Bing uses to store documents, it is difficult to retrieve an exact count, and you might notice the number varying slightly as you reload the webpage. This is a normal part of the estimation process.

  You can identify which webpages Bing has indexed by clicking the number next to Indexed Pages. A Bing webpage appears, presenting all webpages that were indexed during the last crawl.

  Note

  Use this tool to ensure that your most important webpages are indexed rather than simply looking at the total number of indexed webpages. More indexed files aren't always better, as Bing might index synonyms of a specific webpage.

• Blocked

  Alerts you to whether there are webpages on your website that Bing can't index. If the value given for Blocked in the Site status section is Yes, there is a specific issue causing webpages from your website to be removed from Bing search results.

  Webpages are typically blocked when a website doesn't comply with Bing Guidelines for successful indexing. To unblock your website, first fix any issues and then follow the instructions on the Your website disappears from Bing results webpage to request re-inclusion into Bing.

• Page score

  Provides a measurement of how authoritative Bing views your webpage to be, with five green boxes being the highest rating and five empty boxes being the lowest. This is based on many of the same factors Bing uses to determine static rank (A query-independent ranking of a webpage by a search engine. The static rank of a webpage provides a general indicator to the overall quality of the webpage.) , but isn't directly comparable.

• Language

  Shows the two-digit code that represents the language of the webpage, based on the ISO 639-1 language code standard. If you see either zz or ??, Bing couldn't determine the language used in the webpage.

• Region

  Shows a two-digit code that represents the region your website's content is targeted at, based on the ISO 3166 country code standard. If you see either zz or ??, Bing couldn't determine the target region for the webpage.

• Last crawled

  Shows the date of the last time the specific listed webpages were crawled by the Bing web crawler (A program that scans websites and indexes their content, such as text, documents, images, and links, for searching. The web crawler used by Bing is also known as MSNBot.) .

• Blocked

  Shows whether any of the listed webpages are blocked from the Bing web crawler.
