crawlers

Crawlers, also known as spiders or bots, are automated programs that systematically browse the internet to collect information from websites. They navigate through webpages by following links, gathering data like page content, images, and metadata. This information helps search engines understand what each site is about, enabling relevant search results. Crawlers operate quietly in the background, adhering to rules set by website owners, and play a fundamental role in organizing the vast information available online for users to find efficiently.
