HighBroken internal linksLinks that return a 4xx or 5xx status.142Example crawlAffected · 142

Why it matters

A broken internal link sends people and crawlers to an unavailable page and interrupts the path through the site.

Example affected URLs

  • /guides/technical-seo
  • /resources/audit-template
  • /blog/site-migration

How to verify

Open the source page, follow the link, confirm the final status, then update, remove, or restore the target and run another crawl.

MediumMissing canonicalPages without a self-referencing canonical tag.318Example crawlAffected · 318

Why it matters

A missing canonical leaves the preferred URL less explicit when similar versions are available.

Example affected URLs

  • /services/technical-audit
  • /resources/crawl-report
  • /guides/indexing

How to verify

Inspect the rendered HTML, confirm the preferred indexable URL, add the matching canonical, and check it again in the next crawl.

MediumRedirect chainsURLs that redirect through multiple hops.76Example crawlAffected · 76

Why it matters

Each extra redirect adds an avoidable request and makes the final destination harder to understand and maintain.

Example affected URLs

  • /blog/legacy-seo-guide
  • /resources/old-checklist
  • /guides/site-move

How to verify

Follow the complete redirect chain, confirm the intended final URL, then update the source link or redirect so it reaches that URL directly.

LowOrphan pagesPages with no internal links pointing to them.209Example crawlAffected · 209

Why it matters

A page without internal links is harder for people and crawlers to discover and receives no navigational context from the rest of the site.

Example affected URLs

  • /research/crawl-budget
  • /guides/schema-markup
  • /resources/internal-links

How to verify

Confirm that the page should remain indexable, then add a relevant link from an established page or remove it from the indexable inventory.

Move from the overview to the exact pages and links.

Move from an issue group to the exact pages, link relationships, and site structure behind it. Each explorer keeps the crawl scope and evidence visible.

01

Page Explorer

Search, filter, and compare every crawled URL with its status, metadata, indexability, and issue count.

02

Link Explorer

Inspect source and target URLs, anchor context, link problems, and the relationships that shape internal authority.

03

Site Tree

See how directories and pages fit together so orphaned, over-deep, or weakly connected areas become easier to spot.

Use Site Audit for recurring SEO work as well as individual reports.

Questions before your first crawl?

What does Site Audit crawl?

Site Audit follows eligible internal pages within the configured scope and records technical, metadata, status, indexability, and linking evidence.

Can I compare audit runs?

Yes. Recurring runs make new, persistent, and resolved issue evidence visible over time.

How are issues prioritized?

Issues are grouped by severity, affected scope, and the evidence available for investigation. Crawl Foundry does not present a single score as objective truth.

Can agencies separate client sites?

Yes. Each client property stays within its own workspace and access boundary.

Turn every crawl into a clearer next move.
