Definition
Crawl budget is the number of pages Googlebot will crawl on a given website within a set time window, determined by crawl rate limit (how fast the server responds) and crawl demand (how popular the pages are). Large sites with thousands of pages must manage their crawl budget carefully, ensuring that low-value or duplicate pages do not consume crawl allocation that should go to important content. Improving site speed, fixing crawl errors, and submitting XML sitemaps all help optimize crawl budget.
