Monday.com Has 6 Orphan Pages, the Most of Any SaaS Site We've Crawled. HubSpot's Internal Authority Is the Weakest of the Batch.

Latest round of the site-crawl series: ran the free RankForge crawler against four productivity/CRM SaaS sites — hubspot.com, atlassian.com, monday.com, and airtable.com — 10 pages each, starting from the homepage. One of them has more disconnected pages than any site we've crawled in this series so far.

What I ran

No account needed, so this is reproducible:

  • POST https://rankforge.cc/api/analyzer with {"seed_url": "..."}, then poll GET /api/analyzer/<id> until status is completed.
  • The crawler follows internal links breadth-first from the seed, caps at 10 pages for the anonymous tier, scores every crawled page's internal authority (PageRank-style, 0-100), flags orphan pages (zero inbound internal links from the crawled set), and audits every internal redirect to its final hop.
  • Raw JSON for all four runs: content/analyzer_20261004c_<host>.json. (A fifth candidate, zendesk.com, was dropped from this batch — its own bot-protection layer returned HTTP 403 on 25 of 35 crawler requests, so no clean crawl was possible.)

monday.com: 6 orphan pages, the most of any site in this series

6 of the 10 crawled pages have zero inbound internal links from anywhere else the crawler reached in the same pass — the highest orphan count logged across every batch run in this series to date. The crawl's redirect audit came back unavailable for this run (no redirect data to report either way). Average internal authority: 47.26.

hubspot.com: weakest average internal authority of the batch, 1 orphan page

Average internal authority score across the crawl: 20.41 — the lowest of the four sites, with one orphan page and zero internal redirects.

atlassian.com: zero redirects, zero orphans, 30.06 average authority

A clean redirect/orphan sheet — no internal redirects, no orphan pages — with average internal authority of 30.06.

airtable.com: zero redirects, zero orphans, strongest authority of the batch

Also a clean redirect/orphan sheet, with the strongest average internal authority of the four at 59.52.

Same checks (orphan pages, near-orphans, internal authority distribution, redirect-chain hops, external nofollow audit) run in one pass, no signup: rankforge.cc/audit.
