Demystify Yoast’s Advanced Crawl Optimization

You might be familiar with Yoast, a popular and widely used WordPress plugin to fine-tune your SEO needs, but have you ever explored their Advanced Crawl Optimization settings?

These settings help prevent URLs and links with no SEO value from being crawled, reducing the electricity usage and carbon footprint of your website. WordPress automatically adds these URLs and links to the head section of your site pages. You may not be actively using this metadata and content for your website so Yoast gives you the option to remove them and improve your website’s crawl budget.
