What Is an Orphan Page?
An orphan page is a live URL on a website that has no internal links pointing to it from anywhere else on the site, making it hard for crawlers to discover and index.
Orphan pages commonly appear after a redesign, a CMS migration, or a bulk content import — the page still exists and resolves fine, it's just structurally invisible.
