Solution

Excessive URL parameters can cause crawl budget waste and duplicate content. Each parameter combination creates a unique URL. Use parameter handling in Google Search Console to tell Google how to handle parameters. Consider using path segments instead of parameters for important content. Filter/sort parameters should be handled with canonical tags or robots meta.
