A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Absolutely. The crawler is doing some rudimentary processing before it ever does any sort of data storage saving. That's the sort of thing that's being persisted behind the scenes, and it's almost certainly both not enough to reconstruct the web page, nor is it (realistically) human-friendly. I was going to say "readable" but it's probably some bullshit JSON or XML document full of nonsense no one wants to read.
