A search engine finds new pages through a process called crawling, which is the process of crawling a website using robots (spiders).
Website crawling by robots
Search engines like Google and Microsoft Bing have automated bots (such as Googlebot). They constantly scan the internet, following links from known pages to new ones.
If a bot lands on a page of your website, it:
- loads HTML code;
- analyzes content;
- extracts links;
- adds new URLs to the crawl queue.
Internal links as the main discovery channel
The main way to discover new pages is through internal linking. If a new page:
- added to the menu,
- linked to an already indexed page,
- or is present in the catalog,
- then the bot finds it faster and adds it to the bypass.
Sitemap.xml
The second important source is the sitemap.xml file. This is a sitemap where you explicitly list all important URLs. Search engines use it as a "crawl plan," especially for new or deeply nested pages.
External signals
If a page has external links from other websites, blogs, or social media, it speeds up its discovery. For search engines, this is a signal that the content may be new and important.
Re-crawling
Search engines regularly return to already known sites. The frequency depends on:
- domain authority;
- content update frequency;
- user behavior.
The more active the site, the more often the bot checks for new pages.
