Hey everyone!

So, I've been wondering... *what is the main purpose of a web crawler program*? Like, I know it has something to do with search engines, but how exactly does it work?

Does it just roam around the web like a digital spider, grabbing info? And why is it so important for sites like Google or Bing?

Would love if someone could break it down in simple terms—no tech jargon pls!

Also, do web crawlers affect how websites rank? Or am I totally off track here? 😅

Thanks in advance!
