Googlebot crawls web pages to make them available in Google Search results. Crawling involves discovering new and updated web pages and downloading them. Modern web pages use technologies like JavaScript and CSS, which Googlebot also processes. This affects the site's crawl budget, which can be managed by minimizing resources, hosting resources on different hostnames, and using cache-busting parameters cautiously.

Google Search Console

Danny Sullivan, Google's Search Liaison, explained that Google has made it harder to find the results count in searches because it can be a distraction and researchers should use Google Trends for more accurate data. He mentioned that result counts are broad estimates and not necessarily indicative of interest or popularity. Google has been testing removing the results count completely, but it remains available under the "Tools" menu.
