Its been a few days and I’ve not seen google crawling our forum. We have the main domain site map in google webmaster tool and have read on this forum that a site map for the sub domain is not needed. We current host with Discourse. 1. How can I tell if Google Crawled our site? 2. Where can i see a report with the results of the Crawl? 3. What, if anything, can I do to initiate the Crawl? ---

You can force a crawl at [https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/googlebot-fetch](https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/googlebot-fetch) and see general crawl stats at [https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/crawl-stats](https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/crawl-stats). ---

And [this search](https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Acommunity.electricforum.com+tesla&oq=site%3Acommunity.electricforum.com+tesla&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i58.151j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8) with 132 results looks ok for me. ---

I am trying to do this for another community I have with Discourse: [https://community.roatan.online](https://community.roatan.online) Getting a “redirected” error and then I requested an indexing…is there anything else I should do? ---

Your first port of call for _anything_ google related should be the ~~Google Webmaster Tools~~. Google Search Console. ---
