What Is Click Depth?

Click depth is the number of clicks required to reach a specific page starting from a website's homepage, which strongly affects how often and how deeply crawlers reach it.

Pages buried more than four or five clicks deep are crawled and refreshed far less frequently, regardless of how valuable their content actually is.
