  • Patent number: 12216985
    Abstract: A structural analysis system analyzes the pages of a web site, including the content of the pages and their relationships to each other. Based on the analysis, the structural analysis system additionally modifies (or suggests modification of) the web pages of the web site, such as by altering the inter-page linking structure of the web site. This improves the structure of the web site, leading search engines to be able to more quickly find and index its pages, as well as increasing the expected ranking that a search engine would provide to pages of the web site within the set of search results provided by the search engine in response to a user query.
