Screen Shot: Reduce Load Time & Increase Google Crawl Budget

We've been talking a lot about Google crawl budget recently but here is a tweet that Google's John Mueller retweeted from Twitter Rasmus Sørensen where he said he was able to reduce his load time on his server by 50% which resulted in his crawl budget "exploding."

Here is the crawl stats from his Google Search Console report showing the trend upwards after reducing his load time on his server:

Significant improvements, which may lead to more pages being indexed by Google and potentially more content opportunities for the site to show up in Google for more queries.

I think the relaunch was successful! Load time down by 50%, crawl budget exploded, a LOT more pages in the index. #seo #searchconsole pic.twitter.com/ThQkT3KxF4
