Crawl Budget Basics for Static Content Sites

Understand crawl budget for static sites and reduce low-value pages, duplicate URLs, and broken routes.

Why this matters

Small sites usually do not need complex crawl budget work, but duplicate and broken URLs still waste discovery signals.

Setup

Keep indexable pages useful and linked. Avoid creating tag pages for tags that only repeat the same single article unless they serve navigation.

Implementation notes

Review generated routes after build. Static generators can produce many archive pages quickly, so taxonomy discipline matters as the site grows.

Final checklist

  • Broken routes are removed
  • Taxonomies stay useful
  • Sitemap contains real content pages
