Frequently Asked Questions about Web Crawler

A web crawler, also known as a spider or bot, is a program designed to systematically browse the internet and index content from web pages. This process is crucial for search engines like Google, as it allows them to gather and update information about websites, ensuring that users receive relevant search results.
