Remember your robots.txt file can control what they crawl and do not crawl. Often if you do not have one of these setup in your /root you might be having pages crawled you do not want.

A spider, also known as a web crawler, is like a little robot that search engines use to explore the internet. It hops around different websites, following links and gathering information about their content. This helps search engines know what each page is about so they can show the most relevant results when you search for something. Think of it as a friendly guide that helps search engines navigate the web!
