Pull any large site's crawl logs and you will find a meaningful slice of bot activity spent on URLs that died months ago. Googlebot, Bingbot, and a growing crowd of AI crawlers keep returning to pages you deleted, rechecking whether they are still gone.

We pull this thread on almost every technical audit, because recovered crawl budget is some of the cheapest performance in SEO.
