Crawl budget
Crawl budget is the number of URLs a search engine will fetch from a site in a given period.
Why it matters
On a large site it decides how quickly new and changed pages are discovered. Wasting it on duplicates and redirects delays everything else.
How it is measured
Compare crawl requests per day in Search Console's crawl stats against the number of URLs you want refreshed.
