Google Updates Crawl Budget Documentation With New Conservative Capacity Limits for All Sites

SERoundtable reports that Google has updated its Optimize Your Crawl Budget documentation with improved terminology and clarity. The refresh emphasizes that every site begins with an identical, conservative crawl capacity limit, which Google's systems can automatically increase over time if demand exists and the site maintains quality standards. While most changes are clarifications rather than fundamental shifts in how Google crawls, the update adds helpful context around shared crawl capacity across different crawlers and provides concrete optimization tactics like improving server response times and implementing HTTP caching.
