Click/Page Depth
5 replies · Started by Michael on February 29, 2020
Hi guys,
In my site audit I'm finding my older blog posts have crazy click depths of 30 odd, and I've been reading this is not so great. I wondered if there is a way to combat this by creating an archive or something like that? At the moment I've got the blog set up to infinite scroll which I thought made sense. Is there any functionality within GP I can use to help with this? Thank you very much for your help :)

Hi Michael,
Sorry not sure if I understand.
What do you mean by crazy click depths of 30 odd?
Hi Leo,
I think it might also be called Page Depth or Crawl Depth... Here's a visualization of my blog posts showing what I'm talking about (it's the long string as opposed to the clusters):

I see. Page depth is the average number of pages that your visitors view during a single session.
That's not something GP can control. Sounds like it purely depends on the user.
Hi Leo, I fixed it by adding the blog posts to the sitemap. Now the click depth is 2 instead of 32!
Glad you found a solution!
