Find orphan pages and fix your internal links.
Map every internal link, measure page depth, find pages with zero internal links pointing to them, and let AutoFix reconnect the ones with an obvious destination. No manual site-mapping audit required.

The technical surface · this page covers
Part of Technical Suite's six-stage loop. See the full system →
Pages go live. Nobody links them in.
- A content team ships three articles a day. Nobody manually checks that each new page gets linked from somewhere relevant.
- Orphan pages — zero internal links pointing in — pile up for a quarter before an audit catches them, technically live but practically invisible.
- Mapping the site's link structure by hand is slow enough that it only happens as a rare, one-off project, not something that keeps pace with what's shipping.
- Nobody has real visibility into which pages are actually reachable by a crawler versus which ones only technically exist.
What needs to happen: the link graph needs remapping on every crawl, so an orphan page gets caught the cycle it appears, not months later in a rare audit.
How SEORCE does it: the internal link graph is remapped every crawl. Orphan pages are found automatically, the same cycle they're discovered, and AutoFix links them back in — added to the most relevant existing module, not an arbitrary link. Broader link-equity strategy stays a human decision.

A simulation — the exact mechanic that runs on a real crawl. /products/trail-runner-4 has zero internal links pointing to it.
Link depth, across the whole site.
214 pages have no internal path in at all — search engines and AI crawlers only find them through the sitemap, if at all.

What does Internal Links check?
Internal Links maps the internal link graph across a site during the continuous crawl, reporting link depth per page — how many clicks from the homepage — and flagging orphan pages with zero internal links pointing to them. AutoFix links an orphan page back in automatically, adding it to the most relevant existing module on the site — a related-products block, a category listing — and logs a before-and-after diff. Broader internal-linking strategy, such as which pages should carry the most link equity or how a navigation structure should be reorganised, is diagnosed and left for a person to decide.
Key facts
- Maps the internal link graph across the whole site, every crawl
- Reports link depth per page, from the homepage
- Finds orphan pages automatically — no manual site-mapping audit
- Ships automatically: orphan pages linked into a relevant module, broken internal links pointing to redirected pages
- Diagnosed, not auto-applied: link-equity strategy, navigation restructuring
Frequently asked about internal links.
A page with zero internal links pointing to it. Search engines and AI crawlers can usually still find it through the sitemap, but it gets little to no link equity and is crawled far less often than a well-linked page.
It looks for the most relevant existing module on the site — a related-products block, a category listing, an article's related-reading section — and adds the page there rather than inserting an arbitrary link.
No. Orphan pages are found automatically by the continuous crawl, the same cycle they're discovered, not by someone mapping the site by hand.
Broader internal-linking strategy — which pages should carry the most link equity, how a navigation or category structure should be reorganised. Those are judgement calls, not mechanical fixes.
Every scheduled crawl remaps the internal link graph, so a page that becomes orphaned after a template change or a content removal is caught on the next cycle, not months later.
