Content architecture

Make your site structure visible before you change it

redCacti turns a public crawl into an evidence trail for how pages connect. Find isolated and near-isolated pages, understand crawl depth and reachability, and give every structural recommendation a page-level reason.

Crawl evidence is not traffic, ranking, demand, conversion, or revenue data.

Replace guesses about architecture with observable facts

A crawl does not tell you which page deserves more traffic. It does show the paths available to the crawler and the places where your structure loses context.

Reachability and crawl depth

See whether a page is reachable from the crawl start and how many link steps away it sits.

Isolated and near-isolated pages

Find pages with no observed incoming internal links, or pages supported by only a narrow path.

Incoming and contextual links

Review who links to a page and whether the surrounding link context supports a useful journey.

Page classification

Group crawl results by observed page patterns so repeated template issues are easier to review.

Fragmented topic clusters

Spot content groups with weak hub connections, missing bridges, or unclear relationships.

Possible missing hubs

Use structural gaps as prompts for editorial review, not as automatic prescriptions.

Page-level evidence

Know which pages need a closer look

Move from a high-level architecture signal to the actual pages behind it. Review incoming links, depth, classification, and the latest crawl before deciding whether to update navigation, add context, or leave the page alone.

A review loop with evidence

From crawl to approved change

01

Crawl

Map public pages and links.

02

Inspect

Open architecture evidence.

03

Assess

Review confidence and impact.

04

Prioritize

Choose the work that fits your team.

05

Compare

Run a later crawl and check the change.

Use crawl evidence to guide structural work. Add your team's traffic, search, editorial, and business context before making a change.

Content architecture FAQs

What does a content architecture crawl measure?

A crawl maps pages and the links between them. redCacti can surface crawl depth, reachability, incoming links, contextual link placement, page classification, isolated pages, and fragmented clusters in the crawl evidence.

What context should my team add?

Use the crawl to review structure, then add traffic context, search demand, editorial goals, and business priorities when deciding what to change.

Does redCacti automatically change my website?

No. The workflow is review first. Your team chooses what to change, makes human-approved updates, then compares a later crawl with the earlier evidence.

Can a crawl confirm a page is indexed?

A crawl shows whether a page was reachable from the crawl starting point and how it was linked. Use search engine inspection data when you need to check indexation.
