See how your site is organised
The Structure view draws your site from the pages the scan found, grouped into folders such as /blog/. It shows your biggest sections, how deep pages sit, and folders you may have published by mistake.

What it shows you
The shape of your site, at a glance
Structure groups your pages into folders, such as /blog/ or /docs/, and shows how they fit together.
Four numbers
Pages crawled, top-level sections, the deepest folder path, and the total weight of your pages with the average per page.
Largest sections
Your biggest folders by page count. A folder you do not recognise may be something published by mistake.
Pages by click depth
How many clicks each page is from your homepage, from Homepage to 4+ clicks.
Structure signals
Pages at the root of your site, error pages, pages that would not load and pages kept out of search.
Map
Each folder drawn as a box sized by its page count. Colour it by depth, section or crawl result to spot folders full of errors.
Diagram and Tree
Your folders as connected boxes, or as an indented outline with bars that compare their sizes.
Click depth
How deep is too deep?
Search engines and visitors reach pages near your homepage more easily. Pages buried deep get visited less often.
- Homepage
Where every visit starts.
Link to your most important pages from here.
- 1-3 clicks
Easy to reach for people and search engines.
Nothing to do. This is where key pages belong.
- 4+ clicks
Hard to reach. PixyScan suggests a closer link for these pages.
Link to them from your menu, a hub page or related pages.
What it finds
Structure problems and their fixes
- Critical
Orphan pages with no internal links
No page links to them, so visitors cannot reach them and search engines may never find them.
How to fix: Link to each one from related content or a hub page, and keep it in your sitemap.
- Suggestion
Pages more than 3 clicks from the homepage
Deep pages are crawled less often and feel hidden to visitors. This never costs points.
How to fix: Add links from higher-level pages, such as your menu, category pages or a hub page.
- Suggestion
Pages linked from only one or two other pages
Pages with few links pointing to them look less important to search engines.
How to fix: Link to the page from more related pages, with clear anchor text.
Inside the app
One site, four drawings
Four numbers, your largest sections, pages by click depth and the structure signals.
Click around: it is a working copy of the screen, filled with our test site's data.
Your first visit
Read your structure in four steps
- 1
Read Largest sections and look for any big folder you did not expect.
- 2
Check click depth. A big 4+ clicks group means some pages are hard to reach.
- 3
Open the Map and colour it by crawl result to see which folders have errors.
- 4
Use Export segments to download the structure as a spreadsheet.
The checks behind this screen
Check categories shown here
These groups of checks feed the numbers on this screen. Each one is explained on the score page.
On-Page
35 checksThese checks look at each page's title, meta description, headings and URL. They flag any that are missing, empty, duplicated on other pages, too long or too short, including pages with more than one H1, because these are the first things search engines read and show.
Crawlability
18 checksYour robots.txt file and your sitemaps tell search engines which pages to visit. These checks read both, and they flag sitemaps that list broken, blocked or duplicate pages, CSS and JavaScript files that robots.txt blocks, and pages that failed to load during the scan.

FAQ
Common questions about this feature
Is this my sitemap?
No. It is built from the pages the scan actually found by following links. To compare your sitemap with what the scan reached, open the Sitemaps tab in the Crawlability view.
How much of my site does it show?
The drawings use up to the first 2,000 URLs of the scan, and a badge tells you when there are more. Export segments always covers every URL in the scan.
Can I export it?
Yes, from Hobby up. Export segments downloads one row per folder as CSV, XLSX or JSON. It gives the same file from any tab.
