The number of pages a search engine will crawl on your site within a given timeframe, determined by crawl rate and crawl demand.
Crawl budget matters for large sites (1,000+ pages). Googlebot allocates limited resources per site based on server health, page importance, and freshness signals. Wasting crawl budget on low-value pages (filters, duplicates, paginated archives) means important pages get crawled less frequently.
Using robots.txt to block crawling of admin pages and URL parameters, preserving crawl budget for the 500+ glossary term and blog post pages.
For sites targeting thousands of indexed pages, crawl budget optimization ensures new and updated content gets discovered and indexed quickly.
