Page buried deep in the site
What it means
These pages are more than 5 clicks from the start URL. Depth is a reasonable proxy for how important a site treats a page: the deeper it is, the less often it is crawled and the less internal link value it receives.
How to fix it
Shorten the path to the pages that matter. Add section hubs, link related content across sections, and keep pagination short: an archive split over 40 pages buries everything past page two. Check how crawl depth is spread in the report: a site whose pages cluster at depth six or more usually has a navigation problem, not a content one.
Finding it in CrawlStat
After a crawl, open Issues and pick Page buried deep in the site. Click Show all in Pages to filter the Pages table to the affected pages, or Export affected to hand the list to whoever owns the fix. Audit ID: deep_page.
