Crawling is a process used by search engines to find content and present it to the people searching for it on the internet. In this process, search engines like Google send robots known as crawlers and spiders to find content on blogs and websites.

They not only take new content but also look up the updates made to content on websites. This content could be a blog post, image, video, or file such as PDF but anyhow of the format, the content is generally discovered by links.

Generally, websites contain a lot of information in headers which is not useful for many of us and instead makes the website insecure. For example, WordPress headers contain information about plugins and themes used on the website. This lesson will guide you on how you can remove such things on your website to better the crawl rate, make your website load faster and be more secure.

Have A Faster, Secure & Easy Crawlable Website
