warning Noindex page receives internal links (crawl-budget waste)
Rule budget.noindex_linked · Budget · 1 occurrence(s)
- https://bravecave.com/talk — this noindex page has 8 internal inlink(s) — Googlebot follows them, fetches the page, then drops it unindexed, spending crawl budget for no indexing benefit (and the links leak equity).
