Most sites don’t have indexing issues they have wasted crawl budget. Every broken link, duplicate page, or infinite parameter loop tells Google, “My site isn’t ready.”
When your structure is clean, Google understands your priorities instantly.
How do you make Google spend its crawl energy on the right pages?

This is true. We should be very careful to clean unnecessary urls like 404 pages, thin content pages which doesnot have any values etc.
 
True. Fixing broken links, thin content, and excess URLs significantly improves crawl efficiency. After that, clean architecture and strong internal linking help Google understand which pages deserve attention.

Great point. Clean site structure and removing crawl waste like broken links, duplicates, and unnecessary parameters force Googlebot to focus on what actually matters. Prioritize crawl budget by optimizing robots.txt, using canonical tags, and pruning low-value pages. When Google crawls efficiently, indexing follows.
 
Crawlers should be able to move like fish in a pond. If they are stuck every now and then, they'll eat up your crawl budget and give poor results. Make sure that there are no broken links, redirects, etc.
 
Yes you are right. We need to consider the crawl budget very seriously. If we remove the unnecessary urls/thin content pages/ etc. then we keep more budget for important pages.

Smart concept on efficiency, guess its time to clean up my pages on my website. Found today some random pages being looked at...
 
you make google focus on the right pages by simplifying its path. Remove broken links, duplicates and endless URL variations then guide it with clear internal links and a clean sitemap. When your site is organized and intentional, Google knows exactly where to spend its crawl budget.

Yes. You should spare the crawl budget for necessary pages. And for this we need to have a look on the previous pages which has become obsolete. We can even delete those as well.
 
Exactly Once the technical clutter is removed, Google bot automatically focuses on the right URLs. In the next phase, I’ll outline the key pages to fix/prune and tighten the robots/canonical setup to maximize crawl efficiency. This will help accelerate indexing for the priority pages.

Absolutely those random pages usually drain crawl budget without adding any value. Cleaning them up will instantly make your crawl pattern more efficient.
