Pipedrive's Locale Redirect Spends 8 Internal Links on One Hop. HubSpot Has an Orphan Glossary Page Its Own Crawl Can't Reach.

Next round of the site-crawl series: ran the free RankForge crawler against four CRM platforms — hubspot.com, pipedrive.com, close.com, and copper.com — 10 pages each, starting from the homepage.

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_20261005c_<host>.json.

pipedrive.com: one locale redirect eats 8 internal links in a single hop

/nova 307-redirects to /en/nova — a single-hop locale rewrite, but 8 separate pages in the crawled set link to the un-prefixed /nova path, including the homepage itself. Every one of those links spends a redirect hop instead of pointing straight at the live URL. Average internal authority across the crawl: 100 (a tightly interlinked 10-page set with no weak branch reached yet).

hubspot.com: a glossary page the crawler reached by following links, but that no page links back to

/glossary/opportunity-management showed up as a fully orphaned page in this pass — no inbound internal link from any of the other 9 crawled pages, despite being part of the same crawl. Average internal authority: 20.41, the weakest of this batch, with the long tail of company/bio pages clustering just above 11.

close.com: no redirect data available, authority flow healthy

No internal redirects detected this pass and the crawler's authority-diagnostics module scored the link graph 95/100 — "healthy authority flow, broadly distributed and structurally resilient." Average internal authority: 22.51.

copper.com: clean sheet

Zero orphan pages, zero internal redirects, every crawled page scoring 100 on internal authority — the strongest and cleanest result in this CRM batch.
