Why it crawls your site
The crawler operates specifically to fulfill user-initiated requests within the SiteGuru platform. When a user adds a domain to their SiteGuru dashboard, the crawler is triggered to map the site's structure and analyze individual pages against a suite of SEO best practices. This data is then processed to generate a prioritized to-do list for the site owner, ensuring that the audit reflects the current state of the website's content and technical configuration.
