# AI Crawl Budget (ACB)

How much an AI engine is willing to fetch from your site within a window.

Distinct from search-engine crawl budget. AI crawlers prioritize fewer, denser files - llms.txt and schema.json get hit first, often, and quickly. Pages that take long to respond get cut. Sites with massive cardinality (large e-commerce catalogs, deep blog archives) need to be deliberate about which pages get the structured-data treatment first.
