Crawl Budget

Googlebot will fetch a hundred URLs from your site today. You decide which hundred. Five days, one shot each, and half the URL groups on this site can never earn a ranking no matter how much you spend on them.

Why this game exists

Crawl budget is a real constraint, and most sites spend it on nothing

Googlebot allocates a finite number of fetches to your site. On a large ecommerce catalogue we routinely find half of that budget going to filtered collection URLs, internal search results and checkout pages — none of which can rank, and all of which crowd out the products that can. Nothing you publish gets indexed faster than the budget allows, so the fastest wins in technical SEO are usually subtraction, not addition.

This game compresses that into five days. The traps are the same ones we find in real log files.
