00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.321
Ecommerce sites waste crawl budget when bots spend time on filters, sorting pages, internal search, tracking parameters, and duplicate paths.

2
00:00:08.321 --> 00:00:11.650
The problem is not simply having many URLs.

3
00:00:11.650 --> 00:00:17.474
It is making low-value URLs easier to discover than products and categories that matter.

4
00:00:17.474 --> 00:00:19.555
Inventory the URL patterns first.

5
00:00:19.555 --> 00:00:23.299
Use server logs to confirm what Googlebot actually fetches.

6
00:00:23.299 --> 00:00:27.460
Then tighten internal links, parameter handling, canonicals, and sitemap rules.

00:00:27.460 --> 00:00:33.701
Measure the share of crawl activity reaching valuable pages again after two to four weeks.
