Crawling

Crawling is the process websites use to discover and organize content across the internet. Specialized programs called "crawlers" or "spiders" systematically browse web pages, following links from one page to another. They collect information about each page's content and structure, which is then stored in search engines' indexes. This process helps search engines understand what each site is about, making it possible to return relevant results when users search for information. Essentially, crawling is how search engines explore the web to keep their databases current and comprehensive.
