Oh man, web crawlers are fascinating! The main purpose of a web crawler program is to explore the web automatically, kinda like a robot.
They don’t just scan randomly—they follow links, check for updates, and build a map of the internet. Search engines use this to deliver results, but crawlers also help with stuff like detecting broken links or even scraping data for research.
If you’re into SEO, tools like Screaming Frog can show you how crawlers see your site. Super useful!
