CRAWL DEPTH & SEO
Step 1 : Identify the depth of your pages
-Open Screaming Frog
-Crawl your website
-Once the crawl is completed find the "Crawl Depth" column and sort your pages by Crawl Depth. (Screenshot)

-Crawl depth "0" = Homepage / "1" = One click from the Homepage,....
-All your pages with no "crawl depth" score are in fact orphan pages.
-Ideally you want your strategic pages to have the smallest depth as possible, the closer they are from the homepage the more they will be seen by GG bot and the users.
Step 2 : SEO Best Practice
-Identify your orphan pages, what can of pages, are they important for the business (Bonus Code, Category, Tags, pagination,...)
-Available solutions :
→ If you only have a few orphan/deep pages you can try to link through internal linking.
→ Paginations, increase the number of articles displayed by pages.
→ Link the page in a menu on the HP (only for strategic pages)
→ Category / tags sort by priority check if you find useless pages you can delet (low content, old articles, outdated,...)
