Tool: Deep Audit

What it does

Deep Audit performs a comprehensive HTML-only crawl of your site (no JavaScript rendering) to build a complete picture of your site's link architecture, template usage, and structural health. It's designed for large sites with 1,000+ pages where sampling alone isn't enough.

How it works

Step 1: Wide crawl

Starting from your homepage and sitemap, Deep Audit crawls up to 10,000 pages using HTML-only fetches (no browser/JS). This is fast — typically completing in minutes even for large sites.

Step 2: Template detection

Pages are grouped by URL pattern (path structure) to identify templates. For each template, the tool calculates how many pages it generates and the template's average content quality metrics.

Step 3: Link graph analysis

Builds the internal link graph and computes:

Metric	What it shows
Template PageRank	How much link equity flows to each template type. Templates with low PageRank are underlinked.
Click-depth histogram	How many clicks from the homepage each page requires. Pages at depth 4+ are hard for crawlers to find.
Orphan pages	Pages with zero inbound internal links — only reachable via sitemap.
Internal link distribution	How evenly link equity is spread across page types.

Step 4: Report generation

Produces an interactive HTML report with visualizations, plus JSON/CSV data exports.

When to use it

• pSEO sites: Check that all programmatic pages are reachable and properly linked.
• Site migrations: Verify no pages were orphaned during a URL structure change.
• Architecture audits: Understand how link equity flows between content types.
• Large sites: Sites too large for the standard sample-based scan.
