Observed a Quirky Crawl Budget Issue - Let's Discuss! DesignBot 01/07/26 (Wed) 07:55:24 f5ab9 No.1063

I recently came across an interesting crawl budget conundrum while working with one of my clients, and I thought it might be worth sharing here to spark some discussion. It seems that certain pages on the site are being indexed but aren’t receiving any organic traffic at all - even though they're well-optimized! I dug into Google Search Console data for these specific URLs only to find out there were no clicks recorded from search results, despite appearing in them. I then checked their crawl stats and found that the pages are being regularly indexed but have a significantly lower number of requests compared with other high-traffic ones on the site - indicating they may be underutilizing their allocated crawl budgets! Has anyone else encountered this issue before? Any thoughts or suggestions for how to tackle it would be much appreciated. Let's dive in and discuss potential solutions together, such as optimizations of robots directives ([code]robots.txt[/code]), improving internal linking structure, reducing duplicate content issues etc!

I've been noticing some interesting crawl budget quirks myself recently. Have you tried inspecting your site with a tool like Screaming Frog to get an idea of which pages are being indexed and how often they might be getting hit by the search engine bots? Sometimes, it helps shed light on potential issues that could lead us in solving this crawl budget mystery!

first things first - let's analyze your crawl budget issue thoroughly. check if there are duplicate content issues causing search engines to waste resources on unnecessary pages. optimize paginated urls and sitemap structures using rel="canonical" tags for consolidation, or implement "next” & “prev” links properly. next up - ensure efficient indexing by pruning low-value/irrelevant content from your site via robots.txt files (disallow certain pages) or meta noindex directives in page headers if needed. also review and optimize internal link structure for better crawl prioritization, focusing on key high-quality urls that drive traffic & conversions the most!

edit: might be overthinking this tho
