Tell me about Website Crawling and Indexing?

Crawling is when Google visits your website for tracking purposes. This process is done by Google’s Spider crawler.
Indexing is when After crawling has been done, the results get put onto Google’s index (i.e. web search).
 
A web crawler (also known as a web spider or web robot) is a program or automated script which browses the World Wide Web in a methodical, automated manner. This process is called Web crawling or spidering. Many legitimate sites, in particular search engines, use spidering as a means of providing up-to-date data.
 
Crawling and indexing is a process where search engines get data on your site and store it on their server. So when a user do a search on the web and see that some of your data is relevant on the search it will be pulled and it will be displayed on SERP.
 
Crawling is the process or reading through your webpage source by search engine spiders. They provide a cache certificate after a successful crawl. Indexing is updating the cached webpages in search engine database. Indexed webpages are now ready for search engine rankings.
