Crawl Budget Calculator
Use the numbers from Search Console's Crawl stats report to estimate how long Googlebot needs to crawl your whole site, and see how much crawling is wasted on redirects, errors and slow responses.
How to find your crawl stats
- Open Google Search Console, then Settings, Crawl stats, Open report.
- Note total crawl requests for the last 90 days and divide by 90.
- Note average response time and the response breakdown (OK, redirects, errors).
- Count your URLs from your sitemap and a site crawl, and enter everything here.
What crawl budget means
Crawl budget is roughly how many URLs Googlebot can and wants to crawl on your site in a given time. It depends on how fast your server responds and how much Google values your content. For small and medium sites, it is rarely the main problem; it matters more for large sites, online stores with filters, or sites that generate many duplicate URLs.
How to use crawl budget better
| Waste | Fix |
|---|---|
| Slow server | Caching, better hosting, a CDN |
| Redirect chains | Link straight to final URLs |
| Thin tag and archive pages | Noindex or remove them |
| Parameter and filter URLs | Canonical tags and robots.txt rules |
| Broken links | Fix or remove them |
Use the robots.txt generator, canonical tag generator and redirect chain checker to fix waste.

How can I get Google to crawl my site more?
Speed up your server, publish useful content regularly, improve internal links and remove low-value URLs.
Does robots.txt save crawl budget?
Blocking low-value URL patterns can reduce wasted crawling, but do not block pages you want indexed.
