What is an orphan page?

Orphan pages are in your site (maybe in the sitemap) but no other page links to them. Crawlers find pages by links, so orphan pages are hard to discover and get no internal link value.

1. Compare the list of URLs from your sitemap with a crawl of your site.
2. Pages in the sitemap but not found by the crawl are orphan pages.
3. Add internal links from related pages, or delete or merge the pages which are not needed.
