What Crawl Budget Means for Google search bot

Crawl rate limit:
The crawl rate can go up and down based on a couple of factors:

  • UP: If the site responds really quickly for a while, the limit goes up, meaning more connections can be used to crawl.
  • Down: If the site slows down or responds with server errors, the limit goes down and Googlebot crawls less.


Crawl demand:
The two factors that play a significant role in determining crawl demand are:

  • Popularity: URLs that are more popular on the Internet tend to be crawled more often to keep them fresher in Google index.
  • Staleness: our systems attempt to prevent URLs from becoming stale in the index.


Factors affecting crawl budget:
According to Google analysis, having many low-value-add URLs can negatively affect a site's crawling and indexing.

  • Faceted navigation and session identifiers
  • On-site duplicate content
  • Soft error pages
  • Hacked pages
  • Infinite spaces and proxies
  • Low quality and spam content
