Page depth
Checks if all pages are reachable within 3 clicks from the homepage.
Why does this matter?
Pages more than 3 clicks from the homepage are crawled less and receive less link value. Google pays more attention to pages that are easy to reach.
How to fix it?
Optimize your site architecture so all pages are reachable within 3 clicks. Add internal links from popular pages. Use a clear navigation structure.
This check scores from 0 to 100. Below 50 is a fail, 50 to 89 is a warning, 90 or above is good. After each crawl you see the score per page in your report, with a short note on what we found.
