Web crawlers are like the internet’s detectives. what is the main purpose of a web crawler program? To sniff out and organize web content.

They follow links, take notes, and report back to search engines. Some sites block ’em ’cause they don’t wanna be in search results (like paywalled articles).

Fun fact: Googlebot (Google’s crawler) visits billions of pages daily. Wild, right?
