Is Your Blog’s Crawl Budget So Low? Here’s How You Optimize
A crawling budget problem doesn’t necessarily mean a technical problem.
One budget that every SEO prefers to have unlimited: is the crawl budget.
It’s a term you see regularly on SEO blogs. The crawl budget is the amount of time and resources Google spends crawling a blog. Should you worry about this and optimize your blog according to your crawl budget? In this article, you’ll find out!
Let me start by reassuring you. Your blog doesn’t have many (more than 10,000) unique pages that change daily or more than a million pages that change regularly. Then you generally don’t need to worry about your crawl budget.
