Site architecture guide

Internal links help people move through the site—and show which pages matter.

Look beyond the total number of links. Find broken or redirected destinations, isolated pages, excessive depth, noisy template links, and important sections that have no useful path from the rest of the site.

What to look for

Get the answer without losing sight of where it came from.

01

Check every destination

Separate broken, redirected, canonicalized, and non-indexable targets instead of grouping them as link errors.

02

Look at the shape of the site

Compare crawl depth, incoming-link distribution, navigation, breadcrumbs, and relationships between content.

03

Fix the link at its source

Update the page that contains the link instead of relying on a redirect chain forever.

Put the guide to work

The strongest audits leave room for context. Confirm what happened, rule out the common false positives, decide who owns the fix, and check the page again afterward.

From finding to follow-up

See where the work stands—and what still needs to happen.

  1. 01Found

    Netrix records the page and the issue it found.

  2. 02Reviewed

    Someone checks the finding in context.

  3. 03Approved

    The right person chooses what should change.

  4. 04Applied

    A supported connection accepts the change.

  5. 05Checked

    Netrix reads the public page again.

  6. 06Shared

    The report summarizes the audit and fixes currently marked applied.

A few things worth knowing

Netrix can prepare the work. Your team still makes the call.

  1. 01
    Nothing publishes itself

    AI drafts and supported SEO changes wait for an authorized person to act.

  2. 02
    A write is not proof

    Netrix records when a provider accepts a change, then checks the public page separately. If it cannot read the page, the result stays unknown.

  3. 03
    Limits belong in the open

    When a feature depends on another provider or stops short of a complete workflow, the page should say so.
