"Did you notice that one of the only reports in Google Search Console that does not have a "last updated" time stamp is the links report. I asked John Mueller from Google why and he said, "No particular reason. Different reports are different.""
"This might be a dumb question @johnmu.com but why doesn't the links page in Search Console not have the last updated timestamp like so many of the other reports?[image or embed]- Barry Schwartz ( @rustybrick.com) August 19, 2025 at 7:59 AM John replied: No particular reason.

The Links report in Google Search Console lacks a 'last updated' timestamp that many other Search Console reports include. A concise explanation given was: "No particular reason. Different reports are different." The absence of a timestamp highlights an inconsistency in how report metadata is presented across Search Console. A preference for consistency would add a last-updated indicator to the Links report, aligning it with other reports and improving clarity about data recency. The related timestamps in the posts are August 19, 2025.
