Orphan Pages Finder

Orphan Pages Finder surfaces pages that have no internal links pointing to them. Orphaned pages are hard for crawlers and users to discover, which limits indexing and engagement.

Provide a URL and the tool identifies pages that are isolated from your site structure. It then suggests link sources where those pages should be referenced.

By linking from relevant hubs, category pages, and related content blocks, you help search engines understand the page's role and improve visibility. Use this after migrations, content imports, or during internal linking audits to keep your site architecture connected. It is also a fast way to uncover content that needs stronger contextual placement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can orphan pages still rank?

They can, but it is harder. Internal links provide crawl paths and authority signals.

Where should I add links from?

From topically related, high-traffic pages and relevant category hubs.

Is a sitemap enough?

No. Sitemaps help discovery, but internal links are stronger signals of importance.
