The Myth

"Every website needs to worry about and optimize crawl budget."

The Truth

Crawl budget only matters for very large sites (millions of pages) or sites with severe technical issues. For most sites under 10,000 pages, Google will crawl everything without issue. Don't waste time on crawl budget optimization unless you have a massive site, generate pages dynamically at scale, or have significant crawling issues in Search Console.

Insight from @dejanseo

"Crawl budget is the ultimate non-issue for 99% of sites. Unless you have millions of pages, Google will find everything. Focus on making content worth finding."
