Website Architecture & Crawl Depth Explorer

1. Enter a website URL. Provide the public website address you want to analyse.
2. Choose a crawl depth. Select Standard (depth 3) or Extended (depth 5). The crawl remains subject to your account's URL and usage limits.
3. Explore the architecture. Discovered pages appear as nodes in a three-dimensional network, with connections representing internal links. Node colours help distinguish crawl-depth levels.
4. Navigate the 3D map. Drag to rotate the view, zoom in or out and use Reset View to restore the original camera position.
5. Inspect individual pages. Select a node to investigate its URL, crawl depth and discovered internal-link relationships.
6. Review architecture findings. Examine crawl-depth distribution, deeply buried pages, weakly connected sections and differences between URL structure and click depth.
7. Export results. Use the available export controls once the crawl and visualisation have completed.

Explore and navigate your website architecture

Once your crawl is complete, use the interactive visualisation to investigate website structure, crawl depth and internal links.

Desktop controls

• Mouse wheel: Scroll to zoom in or out.
• Left-click and drag: Rotate the 3D architecture to view it from different angles.
• Right-click and drag: Move (pan) across the 3D visualisation.
• Click a page node: Select a URL to inspect its details, incoming links and outgoing links.
• Zoom + / Zoom −: Adjust the zoom level using the on-screen controls.
• Reset View: Return to the original view of your website architecture.
• Find a page: Search for a discovered URL to locate and highlight it in the visualisation.

Touchscreen controls

• One-finger drag: Rotate the 3D visualisation.
• Two-finger gestures: Zoom and move around the architecture.
• Tap a page node: Select a URL and inspect its internal linking relationships.

2D fallback: If your browser cannot display the 3D visualisation, the alternative 2D map supports zooming and panning instead of rotation.

Tip: Explore different areas of your website to identify deeply buried pages, isolated sections and potential internal linking opportunities.

Understanding URL relationships:

• Incoming internal links: Links from other URLs on the website that point to the selected URL.
• Outgoing internal links: Links from the selected URL to other URLs on the same website.
• Other internal connections: Links between other discovered URLs, excluding connections directly involving the selected URL.

Understanding website architecture: Each node represents a discovered URL. Its position reflects observed crawl depth — the minimum number of internal-link steps from the starting URL. URL path depth is assessed separately to identify differences between URL structure and internal-link hierarchy.

Important: The analysis is based on pages and links discovered during a limited crawl. Crawling respects robots.txt and is limited to 200 attempted URLs for anonymous visitors or 500 for signed-in accounts. Results may not represent the entire website.
