Is the link placed on an orphan page?
An orphan page is a page on your website that is not linked to by any other page. This can be problematic for SEO as search engines may have difficulty discovering and indexing these pages. Here’s how you can check for orphan pages on Shopify and WooCommerce:
Shopify
- Log in to your Shopify admin panel.
- Navigate to Online Store > Navigation.
- Check your main menu and footer menu to ensure all important pages are linked.
- Use a third-party app like Sitemap & NoIndex Manager to generate a sitemap and identify orphan pages.
WooCommerce (WordPress)
- Log in to your WordPress admin panel.
- Navigate to Appearance > Menus.
- Ensure all important pages are included in your main and footer menus.
- Use a plugin like Google XML Sitemaps to generate a sitemap and identify orphan pages.
By ensuring that all important pages are linked from other pages on your site, you can help search engines discover and index your content more effectively.
