Guide crawl budget
Shallow, logical folders help crawlers reach money pages instead of wasting requests on deep leftovers.
Site structure
See silos, folders, and URL hierarchy after every crawl.
Crawlox turns crawled paths into a site architecture view: top-level silos, nested folders, average SEO scores, and page counts so information architecture issues are visible without a spreadsheet.
Silo grouping
Pages are grouped by their top-level path section so topic clusters are easy to scan.
URL tree
Nested folders follow the path hierarchy, from homepage to deep product or article URLs.
SEO score by section
See average on-page scores per silo to find sections that are structurally weak.
Depth awareness
Spot URLs buried too deep for users and crawlers against your maximum silo depth target.
What is site structure?
Site structure is how URLs are organized for users and crawlers.
A clear site structure groups related pages into silos, keeps important URLs close to the homepage, and makes internal linking predictable. Crawlox builds that map from crawled paths so you can review architecture with the same data as on-page scores and links.
Why it matters
Buried pages get fewer crawls and weaker topical relevance.
Search engines infer topics from URL folders, breadcrumbs, and internal links. If product pages sit four levels down, or blog posts live outside a silo, both users and crawlers struggle to understand the site.
Strengthen topic clusters
Silos make it obvious which section owns a topic and which pages should support it.
Find architecture debt
Legacy folders, duplicate section names, and one-off campaign paths show up as soon as they are crawled.
Align SEO and product
Share a tree view instead of debating IA from memory after a redesign.
How it works
Paths become a navigable architecture.
01
Collect crawled URLs
The latest inventory supplies every reachable path on the authorized domain.
02
Group by top-level silo
Crawlox buckets pages by the first path segment, such as /blog or /features.
03
Build the folder tree
Nested segments become folders you can expand to inspect child pages.
04
Open a page from the tree
Select a node to review on-page SEO details without leaving the architecture context.
What you can inspect
Architecture context next to SEO performance.
Structure is most useful when it is tied to scores, not just folders.
Silo name and page count
See how large each top-level section is after the latest crawl.
Average SEO score
Compare sections that are well optimized with sections that lag.
Path depth
Flag URLs deeper than the maximum silo depth you set for the domain.
Homepage node
Keep the root page visible as the starting point of the tree.
Page nodes
Leaf URLs keep their title, score, and link into the page detail view.
Connect to linking
Use Structure with the internal link graph to see both folders and actual connections.
What teams do next
Use the tree to plan IA and content cleanup.
Flatten deep URLs
Move important pages closer to the root when depth checks fail your domain target.
Consolidate leftover folders
Merge campaign, legacy, and duplicate sections that dilute topical focus.
Brief new cluster pages
Spot silos with few supporting URLs and plan content that belongs in that folder.
FAQ
Site structure questions.
Short answers for teams that want a live view of URL hierarchy after each crawl.
How does Crawlox build site structure?
Crawlox groups crawled pages by their URL path. Top-level segments become silos, and nested folders form a tree you can expand and inspect.
What is a silo in Crawlox?
A silo is a top-level path section such as /blog, /features, or /docs. Pages inside that section are counted together with an average SEO score.
Can I set a maximum URL depth?
Yes. Domain objectives include a maximum silo depth. Pages deeper than that target are flagged in on-page checks.
Does structure include pages missing from the sitemap?
Yes. Structure is built from the crawl inventory, which includes sitemap seeds and URLs discovered through internal links.
Can I open a page from the tree?
Yes. Selecting a page node opens on-page SEO details for that URL.
Who should use the structure view?
SEO leads, content strategists, and product teams planning information architecture, migrations, or topic clusters.
