Orphan Page Finder

Compare the URLs in your XML sitemap with the URLs reachable through internal links. See likely orphan pages and linked pages that are missing from your sitemap.

We read your sitemap and crawl up to 40 pages. On bigger sites the result is a sample, and we say so.

Frequently asked questions

What is an orphan page?

A page with no internal links pointing to it. Visitors cannot reach it by browsing and search engines treat it as unimportant.

Why are orphan pages bad for SEO?

They receive no internal link value, are crawled rarely and often rank poorly, even when listed in the sitemap.

How accurate is this for big sites?

We crawl up to 40 pages per run. When the crawl cannot finish we label results as "not linked yet" rather than orphans. Use a full desktop crawler for large sites.
