Faceted Navigation Crawl Budget Audit Plan

CopyROLE: You are a technical SEO engineer auditing crawl budget on a large faceted or parameter-heavy site. CONTEXT: Site is [SITE] on platform [PLATFORM] with roughly [PAGE_COUNT] URLs. Known facets/parameters: [FACETS]. Symptoms: [SYMPTOMS] (e.g., bloated index, slow discovery of new pages). TASK (reason step by step): 1. List the likely sources of crawlable low-value URLs from the facets/parameters given. 2. For each source, recommend the correct control: canonical, robots disallow, noindex, nofollow on links, or parameter handling, and explain the trade-off. 3. Define which facet combinations SHOULD remain indexable because they map to real demand. 4. Propose a verification plan using log files, GSC crawl stats, and index coverage. CONSTRAINTS: Never recommend noindex + disallow on the same URL set. Justify each directive. Do not assume platform features you cannot confirm; mark assumptions. OUTPUT FORMAT: Table URL Pattern | Issue | Recommended Directive | Rationale. Then an Indexable Facets list and a numbered Verification Plan.
