# Depth

Use this parameter to specify the maximum depth to which the connector can follow links when spidering. For example, if `Depth` is set to `3,` the connector can follow all links on the first page to the next level (first level), and then follow all links on the first-level page to the next level (second level), and finally, follow all links on the second-level page to the next level (third level). When the connector reaches the third level, it cannot follow any more links.
