Ask AI about this page

Short answer

How can I map a website's structure with my AI?

Your AI uses Firecrawl to crawl a domain and find every internal URL. This creates a clear view of how pages are organized and linked. You'll get a structured list of the entire site's architecture.

The results of a crawl

Where the data lands

Once the crawl finishes, your AI organizes the findings into these views.

URL LIST

Complete link inventory

The AI pulls every internal URL found during the crawl. You get a raw list of every reachable page on the domain.

HIERARCHY

Visual site map

The AI groups URLs by their directory paths. This shows you how the site is organized logically.

GAP ANALYSIS

Identify broken paths

The AI flags URLs that don't follow the expected pattern. You can see where the structure breaks or becomes messy.

HUMAN REVIEW

Manual audit needed

The AI can't decide if a page's placement is strategically correct. You'll need to look at the map to fix SEO or UX issues.

The workflow

What your AI does when the URL arrives.

The AI handles the heavy lifting of crawling and organizing the data.

  1. Crawl the domain

    The AI starts at the provided URL and follows every internal link it finds to ensure no page is missed.

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI crawl external websites?

    No. The tool only identifies and maps internal URLs within the specific domain you provide.

  • 02

    Will the AI change my website's structure?

    No. The AI only reads and maps the existing structure. It cannot move, delete, or edit any files or pages on your site.

  • 03

    How deep does the crawl go?

    The AI follows all internal links it finds, but it stays within the boundaries of the domain you target.

  • 04

    Can I export the map to a CSV?

    The AI can format the list of URLs as a CSV-style text block for you to copy, but it doesn't create a downloadable file directly.

  • 05

    Does this work on password-protected sites?

    No. The tool can only access pages that are publicly reachable via the provided URL.
