What Radar measures

  • Discoverability of URLs via sitemaps and shallow crawl.
  • Hierarchy signals: hub→leaf distribution and navigation presence.
  • Structural gaps: missing hubs, orphan leaves, thin clusters.

What Radar does not do

  • Not supported of access controls, logins, paywalls, or anti-bot protections.
  • No ranking or indexing guarantees.
  • No replacement for technical SEO audits; Radar focuses on structure.

Privacy

Public demo stores minimal telemetry to power the scans feed (host + scan size + grade). Radar pages do not store raw crawl content on this site.

FAQ

What should I do if my sitemap is missing?

Publish a sitemap index, include key hubs and leaves, then rescan.

Why do hubs matter?

Hubs create navigable clusters and help discovery and relevance signals for related leaves.

Can Radar scan login/paywall sites?

No. Use URL snapshot import (JSON).
