+And here is an explanation of some of the terms:
+  * ''Size'': The number of URLs in the sitemap. This example has 181.
+  * ''Crawler'': Indicates which crawler number you are watching. It's number 1 in this example. There could be multiple crawlers working, depending on your settings.
+  * ''Position'': The URL number currently being fetched from the sitemap list.
+  * ''Threads'': Indicates the number of threads currently being used to fetch URLs. There may be multiple threads fetching. It is smart and will adjust based on your load [[litespeed_wiki:cache:lscwp:configuration:crawler|settings]].
+  * ''Status'': Indicates the current crawler status. In this example, ''Stopped due to reset meta position'' means that the site purged or the sitemap changed while it was crawling, and as such, the crawler will restart from the top.
 If you wish to keep a particular path from being crawled, you may enter it in the **Sitemap Generation Blacklist** box and press **Save**. After the crawler has run for the first time, if it encounters any pages marked ''do-not-cache'' they will be added to this Blacklist automatically.
