Google Review widget update timeframes

I have received new reviews on my Goolge My Business Profile, but it doens’t show up in the widget yet. Does the widget update and show new reviews automatically, and if so, what is the update timeframe?

Thank you!

Hey Darius :wave:

The new reviews don’t appear straightaway because of the 48-hours cache time. Our widgets use cache to make it load faster and to reduce the server load, so it doesn’t request review source each time someone browses your feed.

If it’s been more than 48 hours, and the reviews didn’t appear, please provide me with the direct link to the page with the issue. I’ll be happy to check everything for you :wink:

Hey Max, does this cache time work the other way - so if a review is deleted from a google account, the review will also be removed from the feed within/after the 48 hours?

Hello @Simon7 and welcome to Elfsight Community :heart_hands: :tada:

Yes, the review will be removed from the widget after 48 hours since it was deleted from your account.

Thanks for the prompt reply Max.

Hey Max!

Please can you confirm that the reviews will automatically update from Etsy as well?

Thank you!
