<b>Your WordPress install is not too big for Google to crawl</b>
A recurring fear in the small-site world: "My WordPress site has 2,000 pages with all the tag and category archives, am I blowing my crawl budget?" No. Two thousand pages is rounding error to Google.
What those platforms <i>do</i> create is index clutter, which is a different complaint. WordPress spins up author archives, date archives, tag pages, and paginated loops, often thin and duplicative. That's not a crawl budget crisis, it's a quality-and-architecture mess that happens to be crawlable.
The fix isn't crawl optimization. It's deciding what deserves to exist as an indexable URL and noindexing or consolidating the rest, for quality reasons, not budget ones.
Google has the budget for your blog. The question is whether your blog deserves to spend it.
