Orphaned Pages

1. Accessing the Orphaned Pages Table

From the main Dashboard, locate the Orphaned Pages card. It functions similarly to other metric cards:

  • If it shows No data available. Run optimization to see results., click Optimize first.
  • After the scan completes, the card will display a percentage (e.g., 10%) and bullet metrics like:
    Orphaned Pages: 7

Click the View button at the bottom of the card to open the Orphaned Pages table. Visually, that navigates to /ide/orphaned-pages and slides in the table panel from the right.

2. Understanding the Orphaned Pages Table

Once the table is displayed, you will see the following columns:

  • Page URL – The URL path of the page that currently has no internal links pointing to it.
  • Last Updated – A timestamp indicating when that page was last scanned or updated (e.g., “2025-05-30 14:12”).
  • Action – A Fix button for each orphaned page.

If the table is long, scroll down within the panel; no pagination is present because the Management Platform loads all orphaned pages at once. To return to the Dashboard, click the Back to Dashboard link at the top-left of the panel.

3. Fixing an Orphaned Page

To fix an orphaned page automatically:

  1. Identify the Row.
    Look at the first column for the page URL, then verify the timestamp in “Last Updated.”
  2. Click Fix.
    The button is disabled until the table loads. Once available, clicking Fix triggers an automatic insertion of an internal link from a high-level page to this orphaned page.
  3. Watch for the Confirmation Message.
    A brief message appears above the table reading either:
    • Link inserted successfully. (when a suitable parent page was found)
    • No suitable page found for automatic linking. (if no appropriate parent exists)
  4. Verify the Result.
    If the link was inserted successfully, that page’s row immediately disappears from the table. If no suitable page was found, you will need to add a manual link, then re-run Optimize.
  5. Return to Dashboard.
    Click Back to Dashboard (top-left of the panel) to return to the main dashboard view.
