Common Questions

What is a Website Structure Analyzer and what does it do?

A Website Structure Analyzer crawls your website to map its complete hierarchy, internal linking patterns, navigation depth, and URL structure. It visually displays your site architecture as a tree, graph, or heatmap, and identifies SEO issues like orphan pages, deep click paths, or missing navigation elements. Our tool performs all this 100% in your browser using a server-side proxy for CORS compliance—no data is stored on external servers.

How does this tool work without external APIs?

The tool uses a lightweight PHP proxy to fetch HTML pages from the target website (bypassing browser CORS restrictions), then processes and analyzes all data client-side in JavaScript. The crawler extracts links, parses the DOM, classifies page types, and calculates scores locally. We don't use any third-party SEO APIs—all analysis logic is built in-house and runs in your browser.

What is "Architecture Score" and how is it calculated?

The Architecture Score (0-100) is a weighted evaluation of your site's structural health. It combines: Hierarchy Score (balanced page distribution across depths), Depth Score (avoiding pages buried too deep), Link Score (healthy internal linking ratios), URL Score (clean, SEO-friendly URLs), Navigation Score (presence of menus and breadcrumbs), and Technical Score (sitemap, robots.txt, consistent H1 usage). Scores above 80 are considered "Good," and above 90 is "Excellent."

What are "Orphan Pages" and why are they bad for SEO?

Orphan pages are pages on your website that have no internal links pointing to them. Without incoming links, search engine crawlers may never discover these pages, and even if indexed, they receive no "link equity" from your other content. This severely limits their ranking potential. Our tool identifies all orphan pages so you can add proper internal links to integrate them into your site structure.

What is "Click Depth" and what's the ideal depth?

Click depth (or crawl depth) is the number of clicks required to reach a page from your homepage. Google recommends important pages be within 3 clicks of the homepage for optimal crawlability and user experience. Pages at depth 4-5 may still be crawled, but beyond 5 clicks, pages are often considered low-priority by search engines. Our tool visualizes depth distribution and flags pages that are buried too deep.

How do the Tree, Graph, and Heatmap visualizations work?

The Tree View shows your site as a hierarchical tree with parent-child relationships based on URL paths. The Graph View uses a force-directed layout to show how pages are connected through links—nodes repel each other while linked pages attract. The Heatmap View colors pages by depth (green = shallow, red = deep), making it easy to spot deeply buried content at a glance.

Can I analyze any website or only my own?

You can analyze any publicly accessible website. Our proxy fetches pages just like a search engine bot would. However, please respect website terms of service and robots.txt directives. By default, our tool honors robots.txt rules (you can uncheck this option if analyzing your own sites). Note: Some websites may block automated crawling, in which case the tool will return limited results.

What does the "Max Pages" setting control?

The Max Pages setting limits how many pages the crawler will analyze. The default is 15 for quick analysis, but you can increase this up to 500 for comprehensive audits. Larger values take longer but provide a more complete picture of your site structure. For large sites (1000+ pages), consider running multiple focused crawls on different sections.

Is my website data private?

100% Private. While our proxy fetches the HTML content from your target URL (necessary for CORS compliance), all analysis—link extraction, scoring, visualization—happens entirely in your browser. We don't store, log, or analyze the crawled data on our servers. The proxy simply passes through raw HTML and immediately discards it. Your site structure details remain completely private to you.

Can I export the analysis results?

Yes! You can export your complete analysis as a PDF Report containing the architecture score, all metrics, issues found, and recommendations. The export includes URL list, depth analysis, internal linking summary, and structural health indicators—perfect for client reports, SEO audits, or team presentations.
