Ahrefs is showing all product pages on our website as orphaned with no internal or outgoing links. How do I correct this by editing code? I am not interested in adding links to every product page. By the way, this is something that should be standard on every Shopify theme.
Topic summary
Users are encountering SEO issues where Ahrefs reports product pages as “orphaned” with no internal or outgoing links, negatively impacting crawlability and search rankings. This problem appears in the Dawn theme and has caused health score drops during site audits.
Proposed Solutions:
- Add a “related products” section to product pages to create internal linking structure
- Add “All Collections” and “All Products” links to the site footer
Resolution:
One user successfully resolved the issue by implementing footer links to All Collections and All Products pages, with a YouTube tutorial provided for reference. The discussion suggests this internal linking should be a standard feature in Shopify themes to ensure proper site architecture for search engine crawling.
Hi @Quartz
Ahrefs is reporting all product pages on your website as orphan pages, meaning there are no internal links pointing to or from that page. This negatively impacts SEO because Google has difficulty crawling and ranking these pages.
You should use this section for product pages.
Each product page will have a list of related products.

Hi, I’ve find out that my page also got now same problem. Before it was okay, but when i’ve made ahref crawl check, it gets down my health score and told me that almost all my Page has no outgoing links, which was not issue before. I am using Dawn theme. If someone finds solution or its an fresh issue, would be nice to know.
Thanks
Adding All Collections and All Products to my footer resolved my issue. View this link on YouTube. Tresa
