Your URL structure is the backbone of your site architecture. Clean, descriptive URLs help search engines understand your content hierarchy, improve user navigation, and make your pages more shareable. Conversely, messy URLs with random parameters, excessive depth, or inconsistent patterns signal poor site organization.

ToolRouter's crawl_site skill maps every URL on your site, revealing the full URL hierarchy. This analysis exposes common problems: URLs that are too deep (more than 3-4 levels), inconsistent naming patterns between sections, URLs with unnecessary parameters or session IDs, mixed case URLs, and trailing slash inconsistencies.

A URL audit is particularly valuable before site migrations (plan your new URL structure), during SEO overhauls (identify structural improvements), and for large sites where URL patterns have become inconsistent as different teams added content over time.
