Crawl budget refers to the number of pages a search engine like Google crawls on a website within a given time frame. It is influenced by factors like site health, page importance, and server capacity.

Search Engine Journal contributor Aleh Barysevich has published an article featuring nine tips to optimize crawl budget for SEO.

He says, “Crawling is the first step to appearing in search. Without being crawled, new pages and page updates won’t be added to search engine indexes.

The more often that crawlers visit your pages, the quicker updates and new pages appear in the index. Consequently, your optimization efforts will take less time to take hold and start affecting your rankings.

Google’s index contains hundreds of billions of pages and is growing each day. It costs search engines to crawl each URL, and with the growing number of websites, they want to reduce computational and storage costs by reducing the crawl rate and indexation of URLs.”
