About sitemap visualizer
Paste a list of URLs and see your site's structure as a mind map. It makes it easy to spot deep or lopsided sections.
What to look for
- Important pages buried many clicks from the home page.
- Sections with too many or too few pages.
- Inconsistent URL patterns.
A worked example
Paste the URLs from your XML sitemap and the tool groups them by path, showing /blog with 120 pages, /products with 40 and /about with 3. Seeing the structure helps you spot sections that are too deep or too thin, and orphan areas.
What to improve
- Important pages should be within a few clicks of the home page.
- Use clear, consistent URL patterns.
- Remove or merge sections with almost no content.
Spotting orphans
Compare the list of URLs in your sitemap with the pages linked from your navigation. Pages that appear in one but not the other may be orphans that search engines struggle to find.
