Main issue: An Ahrefs crawl flags several product pages as “orphan pages.”
Context: The pages appear in the site’s catalogue and include breadcrumb links back to the main page, so the poster believes they should not be considered orphaned.
Clarification sought: What might be missing that causes Ahrefs to label these as orphan, and how to fix it.
Term note: In SEO tooling, “orphan pages” typically refers to URLs the crawler cannot reach via internal links it discovers during the crawl; navigation elements (catalog listings, breadcrumbs) must be visible as actual HTML links to the crawler to count as internally linked.
Status: No solutions or next steps have been provided yet. The question remains open with no resolution.
I crawled my website in ahrefs and had a few orphan pages, but when I checked those product pages they where included in catalogue and had breadcrumbs on them to get back to the main page, so they are not ‘orphan’ as I understand them. Is there something else that I am missing?
Nothing I have read makes me understand how to resolve the issues.
Thank you
