Web crawlers are the backbone of search engines, dude. what is the main purpose of a web crawler program? To collect data from websites and make it searchable.
They follow links (like a spider, hence "spider" as another name for ’em) and store stuff like text, images, and metadata. Sites block ’em for tons of reasons—bandwidth, privacy, or just to keep content exclusive.
Ever heard of Screaming Frog? Great tool if you wanna see how crawlers view your site.
