What is Googlebot?

Share this post on:

Googlebot is a generic name for Google’s web crawler. Googlebot is the umbrella term for two sorts of crawlers: a desktop crawler that mimics a desktop user and a mobile crawler that simulates a mobile device user.

The Googlebot searches the web in a methodical manner, identifying websites, obtaining information on those websites, and indexing that information to be returned in search results.
In simple words, Googlebot is a crawler. A crawler is a program/algorithm that search engines use to scan and monitor websites and web pages in order to index the internet. When Google visits your website for tracking/indexing reasons, the Spider crawler does the task.

How Does Googlebot Work?

Googlebot uses an algorithmic procedure to choose which sites to crawl, how frequently to crawl them, and how many pages to get from each site. Google’s crawl process starts with a list of web page URLs created by previous crawl operations, which is supplemented with Sitemap data given by website owners.
Blocking Googlebot from accessing a site can have a direct impact on Googlebot’s ability to crawl and index the site’s content, potentially resulting in a loss of ranking in Google’s search results.

The frequency with which Google views the many pages that comprise the Internet network is determined by the significance assigned to those pages by Google. The greater the authority of the page, the more frequently and thoroughly Googlebot will crawl it.

There are instances when you do not want specific content to show on Google for privacy concerns. Several steps can be taken in this case:

Password-protected folders will never be crawled by Googlebot.
On HTML pages that you do not want to be indexed, use a “noindex” tag.

Python is an interpreted language, which means that a Python program’s source code is translated into bytecode before being run by the Python virtual machine. Python differs from major compiled languages such as C and C + + in that Python code does not need to be produced and linked in the same way that code for these languages does.
