What is Google Web Preview?

Google Web Preview is a web crawler operated by Google that fetches web pages to generate preview content, such as images, titles, and descriptions, when links are shared or displayed in Google products. This bot is distinct from Google's main search indexing crawlers (like Googlebot) and is specifically tasked with retrieving enough information to create accurate and visually informative previews. These previews enhance user experience by providing context before users click on a link. The bot typically accesses only the resources necessary for rendering a preview, minimizing its impact on server resources. Website administrators may see 'google-web-preview' in their server logs and can use standard robots.txt directives to manage its access if needed.
