Link every page from another

Link every page from others with <a href> links and text that says where they go, so no page is left orphaned.

By Erik Bergstedt, Agent Wranglers. Updated 20 October 2026.

How to do it

Link every page from at least one other page and from a site-wide place, such as the navigation or footer. Use link text that names the destination.

Example

<!-- Good -->
<a href="/services/website-review">See our website review</a>
<!-- Bad: not a link, and vague text -->
<span onclick="go('/services/website-review')">Click here</span>

How to check

A crawler starting at the home page reaches every page in the sitemap.
