Find pages your crawl may have missed
Compare known URLs with a crawl export. Find pages absent from the crawl, and pages with zero recorded inbound links when your export includes Outlinks.
Your files stay in this browser tab. No account, uploads, storage or live site requests. Results are evidence to review, not proof that a page is orphaned.

File formats and how to check a possible orphan page
Each input allows 2 MB and 10,000 rows or URLs.
XML needs a urlset with url/loc entries. A sitemap index lists other files: download a child URL sitemap first.
Known URL CSV accepts URL, Page or Top pages headers.
Outlinks destinations can be separated by spaces, newlines, semicolons or pipes. Quote cells containing commas or newlines. Export all links for all crawled pages. Empty cells mean no recorded outlinks, so incomplete exports can create false candidates.
Paidwick is made up. The sample data is synthetic.
- Export known URLs from your URL sitemap or a Search Console pages report. Export crawl URLs and, if available, complete outlinks.
- Compare files from the same site and time period. Check pages absent from the crawl for crawl limits, excluded paths and redirects.
- For a page with zero recorded inbound links, check the live page and your crawl settings. Add a useful link from a relevant page only after confirming the gap.
Method and limits
Fragments are removed, duplicate URLs are combined, and relative URLs resolve against the site URL. Outlinks resolve against their source page. Queries and trailing slashes remain distinct. URLs on another origin and invalid URLs are skipped. The homepage is excluded from the results.
Inbound counts are unique source pages in this crawl. Self links and external links do not count. Duplicate crawl rows contribute all their recorded outlinks. Without an Outlinks header, inbound counts remain unknown. With that header, zero means no other exported source page listed the URL. Missing or partial exports can miss links.
This tool does not fetch pages, follow redirects, read canonical tags, check indexability or establish whether a URL still exists. A sitemap or search report may contain stale URLs. A page absent from your crawl may have inbound links outside the crawl.
Questions about orphan pages
Does a missing crawl URL prove that a page is orphaned?
No. Crawl scope, authentication, redirects and export filters can leave out a linked page. Review the evidence on your site before making changes.
Does a sitemap replace internal links?
Google describes a sitemap as a way to tell search engines about site URLs in its sitemap overview. Review crawlable links using Google's link best practices. This comparison does not predict rankings or indexing.
