# Packagist Update Schedule

## How often does Packagist crawl newly added packages?

New packages will be crawled **within ten minutes**.


## How often does Packagist crawl existing packages?

Existing packages will be crawled **every hour**.


## How often does the Packagist search index update?

The search index is updated **every five minutes**. It will index (or reindex)
any package that has been crawled since the last time the search
indexer ran.


## Can Packagist be triggered to recrawl a package (on commit or by other means)?

Yes, you can click the "Force update" button on your package page if you are
logged in as a maintainer. The recommended way is to set up the GitHub hook,
you can find the URL and instructions on your Packagist
[profile](http://packagist.org/profile/) page.
