Ecommerce sites waste crawl budget when bots spend time on filters, sorting pages, internal search, tracking parameters, and duplicate paths.
The problem is not simply having many URLs.
It is making low-value URLs easier to discover than products and categories that matter.
Inventory the URL patterns first.
Use server logs to confirm what Googlebot actually fetches.
Then tighten internal links, parameter handling, canonicals, and sitemap rules.
Measure the share of crawl activity reaching valuable pages again after two to four weeks.
