Explain Spiders, Robots, and Crawlers

[handmaderug]

Hi,
A web crawler, or spider, is a type of bot that's typically operated by search engines like Google and Bing. Their purpose is to index the content of websites all across the Internet so that those websites can appear in search engine results.

piders and crawlers are responsible for indexing and retrieving results in search results of a Search Engine. Google Bot is the crawler of Google.

Web crawlers go through web pages, look for relevant keywords, hyperlinks, and content, and bring information back to the web servers for indexing.

Robots have same functionality, you can also block a particular page of a website from crawling with the help of robots.txt file.
