Reply To: Anyone else seeing crawl weirdness lately?

Usually, yeah, I’ve seen it enough to not dismiss it. Not a full-on collapse or anything, just that annoying pattern where Googlebot looks like it’s wandering around the worst parts of the site for no good reason. Junk URLs, parameter garbage, old paths that should’ve died ages ago… meanwhile the stuff you actually want recrawled sits there waiting. Feels like one of those periods where crawl allocation gets sloppy for a bit and everyone starts pretending it’s “normal variance.” in most cases it is. Still ugly in the logs. Could be wrong though.
