How does Ahrefs prioritize which pages to crawl first?

Ahrefs prioritizes crawling pages based on their link popularity, meaning pages with more backlinks and higher-quality referring domains are crawled more frequently. This is because link popularity is a strong indicator of a page's importance and authority on the web, making it more likely to contain valuable, fresh content. Organic traffic, impressions, and CTR are metrics that reflect user engagement and search engine performance after a page has been crawled and indexed, rather than factors that influence Ahrefs' crawling schedule directly. While these metrics are important for SEO analysis, they don't dictate Ahrefs' initial crawling priority.
