Web Crawlers

Last Updated: January 4th, 2024
Web crawlers, like spiders or bots, are software programs that search engines use to scan and analyze websites. They browse the web, collecting information from web pages to create a searchable index. Crawlers are important for SEO because they determine the relevance and quality of content, which affects a website's search engine ranking. They follow links from one page to another, finding content to index. Understanding and optimizing a website for these crawlers is crucial for effective SEO.
