Site Visualizer and Topology

Summary: The Site Visualizer in Antimanual generates an interactive map of your internal links. This powerful tool helps you identify content hubs, locate orphan pages, and optimize your overall site structure to improve SEO performance.

The Site Visualizer in Antimanual shows you a map of how your website is put together. It turns your internal links into a clear, interactive diagram. Seeing these links is important because it shows you how Google moves through your site and which pages hold the most authority.

Understanding the Map

The tool turns your website data into a map where everything is easy to spot:

• Nodes (Dots): Each dot represents a single post, page, or custom content type.
• Lines: These show the links connecting your pages to one another.

This view helps you spot problems instantly. Instead of checking links one by one, you can see the big picture and decide where to improve your site structure.

Finding Hubs and Missing Pages

Use the filter menu to find specific pages that matter for your SEO:

• Content Hubs: These are pages with many incoming links. These should ideally be your most important pillar pages.
• Orphan Islands: These pages have no links pointing to them. Search engines and visitors often cannot find these, so you should link to them from other parts of your site.
• Underutilized Corners: These are sections with very few links. If you have great content hidden here, it might rank better if you link to it more often.

Link Depth and Rankings

Think of the center of the map as your homepage. The further a page is from the center, the harder it is for search engines to reach. If your important sales or conversion pages are on the outer edges, they may not rank as well as they should. You can use the map to see which pages need more direct links to bring them closer to your site’s core.

How to Optimize Your Links

Follow these steps to improve your site structure:

1. Scan: Open the map to look for isolated groups or gaps.
2. Find Orphans: Use the “Orphan” filter to find pages with no links and connect them to relevant articles.
3. Check Hubs: Make sure your best content gets the most links. If a page like “Privacy Policy” is a major hub, consider hiding it so your link power goes to your actual content instead.
4. Update: After you change your links in WordPress, refresh the map to see the progress.
