Why it crawls your site

The bot crawls websites to perform a comprehensive audit of all outbound and inbound hyperlinks. It verifies the HTTP status codes of these links to ensure they are still active and pointing to valid destinations. This data is then processed and presented to the user within the WPMU DEV Hub dashboard, allowing administrators to manage redirects or update broken references directly from their management console.
