# The Crawl-delay directive

From February 22, 2018, Yandex doesn't take into account the Crawl-delay directive.

To set the rate at which the indexing bots should access your site's pages, use the [site crawl rate](https://yandex.ru/support/webmaster/en/service/crawl-rate.md) setting in Yandex Webmaster.
