Crawlability

A website's ability to be discovered and crawled by search engine bots.

Crawlability depends on accessible URLs, working internal links, valid robots.txt directives, server response codes and reasonable site architecture. Common crawlability issues include orphan pages, blocked resources, infinite parameter loops and deeply nested URLs. Wix automatically handles most crawlability essentials, including XML sitemap generation and proper status codes.
