Site Architecture
Site architecture affects crawl depth, internal link equity flow, and topic clustering. It’s a core lever in technical SEO.
Definition
Site architecture is the structure of your site’s hierarchy, categories, navigation, and internal links. Strong architecture keeps important pages shallow, improves discovery, and consolidates topical relevance through clusters (tutorials + glossary + tools).
Why it matters
- Impacts crawl depth and discovery of key pages
- Determines how internal link equity flows and consolidates topics
- Clear structure reduces duplication and crawl waste
How to implement
- Keep core pages (tools/tutorials/glossary) close to the root
- Use breadcrumbs and category pages to strengthen hierarchy
- Build topic clusters: tools ↔ tutorials ↔ glossary
