CHECK 2 OF 4 · WHY ORPHANED PAGES MATTER
Why orphaned pages matter
An orphaned page has no internal links pointing to it. Search engines discover pages largely through links, so an orphaned page may never be crawled or indexed, and even if it is, it receives little of your site's authority.

What is an internal linking checker?
An internal linking checker maps how the pages on your site link to each other. Our checker samples up to 15 pages from your sitemap, fetches each, and counts the internal links pointing to and from each page in the sample.
Pages with zero inbound links from the sample are flagged as orphaned, they are hard for crawlers and users to find, so they pass little authority and rarely rank.
