❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Le contenu dupliqué affecte-t-il vraiment le SEO ?
Oui, car il gaspille le crawl budget et peut provoquer une confusion dans le classement des pages.
Robots.txt est-il suffisant pour gérer le crawl budget ?
Pas toujours, mais c'est un outil essentiel. Combinez-le avec d'autres stratégies comme la gestion des liens et redirections.
Devrais-je complètement désindexer les URL non prioritaires ?
Pas nécessairement. Assurez-vous d'abord que cela n'affecte pas l'expérience utilisateur ou les conversions.
