There are several factors that contribute to how quickly Stack Overflow's pages are indexed by search engines:

  1. High domain authority: Stack Overflow is a well-established and authoritative website with a high domain authority, which means that search engines like Google trust the content and will index new pages quickly.
  2. Active community: Stack Overflow has a large and active community of users who frequently ask and answer questions. This means that there is a constant flow of new content being added to the site, which can help it get indexed quickly.
  3. Good SEO practices: Stack Overflow uses good search engine optimization (SEO) practices, such as optimizing page titles, meta descriptions, and URL structures, which can help search engines understand the content of the page and index it more quickly.
  4. XML sitemap submission: Stack Overflow likely submits an XML sitemap to search engines, which provides a list of all the pages on the site and helps search engines discover new content more quickly.
