Overview
The Overview tab summarizes the overall crawl results.
It displays the following metrics:
Total Pages
Displays the total number of pages successfully crawled during the analysis.
Internal Links
Displays the total number of internal links discovered between website pages.
Internal links help search engines and AI crawlers understand website structure and improve content discoverability.
Orphan Pages
Displays the number of orphan pages detected.
Orphan pages are pages that do not receive internal links from other pages on the website, making them difficult for search engines and AI crawlers to discover.
Maximum Depth
Displays the deepest crawl level reached from the homepage.
Lower crawl depth generally improves accessibility and page discoverability.
Quick Stats
The Quick Stats section provides additional crawl statistics.
It includes:
Average Internal Links Per Page
Displays the average number of internal links available on each crawled page.
External Links Found
Displays the number of external links identified during the crawl.
Internal Link Density
Measures the percentage of internal links relative to the total links found on the website.
Higher internal link density generally improves crawlability and content discovery.
Link Structure
The Link Structure tab provides a detailed view of how website pages are connected through internal links.
Users can analyze:
- Parent and child page relationships.
- Internal linking paths.
- Link distribution across pages.
- Crawl hierarchy.
This helps identify opportunities to improve navigation and strengthen page authority.
Orphan Pages
The Orphan Pages tab lists pages that have no incoming internal links.
For each orphan page, users can identify:
- Page URL.
- Crawl status.
- Link availability.
The report helps users connect isolated pages to the rest of the website and improve discoverability.
Scoring
The Scoring tab evaluates the website's internal linking quality using multiple crawl metrics.
The analysis considers:
- Internal link coverage.
- Crawl depth.
- Link distribution.
- Website accessibility.
- Overall internal linking quality.
A higher score indicates a stronger internal linking structure and better crawl efficiency.

The Fix tab provides AI-generated recommendations to improve the website's internal linking architecture.
Recommendations may include:
- Add internal links to orphan pages.
- Improve navigation between related pages.
- Reduce crawl depth.
- Increase internal link coverage.
- Connect isolated content.
- Improve page hierarchy.
- Optimize website structure for better crawlability.
These recommendations help improve both traditional SEO and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO).
