Lately, there has been some discussion about ‘Google crawl budget,’ though the term itself isn’t universally defined. In this blog post, we aim to clarify what crawl budget means for Googlebot.

Firstly, it’s important to note that crawl budget isn’t typically a concern for most publishers. If newly published pages are crawled promptly on the same day, crawl budget isn’t a major issue webmasters need to focus on.

Additionally, for sites with fewer than a few thousand URLs, crawling is generally efficient and not a significant worry.

However, for larger sites or those with dynamically generated pages based on URL parameters, prioritizing what, when, and how much of the server’s resources are allocated to crawling becomes crucial.

Crawl Rate Limit:

Google adjusts the crawl rate limit based on how quickly a site responds. If a site responds quickly over a period, the crawl limit increases, allowing more connections for crawling. Conversely, if a site slows down or experiences server errors, the crawl limit decreases, resulting in reduced crawling by Googlebot.

You can adjust the GoogleBot crawl rate; learn more about it on Digitonz digital marketing agency page. It’s important to note that setting higher limits doesn’t automatically increase crawling; Google manages the crawl budget based on the factors described above.
