Make important navigation links crawlable

Use real HTML links with an href for navigation to public pages.

Why it matters

Links help visitors and crawlers discover pages. Click handlers alone may not expose a destination to every crawler.

Do it step by step

  1. 1

    List your most important pages.

  2. 2

    Inspect menus and in-content links in rendered HTML.

  3. 3

    Replace navigation-only buttons or JavaScript handlers with anchors that have real href values.

  4. 4

    Follow the links in a browser and check that destination pages return successfully.

Example

<a href="/pricing">Pricing</a> is a crawlable link.

Check your work

The rendered HTML contains an anchor with href for each important destination.

Complete when

Each key public page has at least one working, crawlable internal link.

Prompt for an AI coding agent

Use this with an agent that can inspect your project. Account and external actions remain yours to complete.

Inspect my existing website project before editing. Make important navigation links crawlable. List your most important pages. Inspect menus and in-content links in rendered HTML. Replace navigation-only buttons or JavaScript handlers with anchors that have real href values. Follow the links in a browser and check that destination pages return successfully. Keep the existing framework and design conventions. Verify the result with the project's checks and by inspecting the rendered page or response. Explain any manual account, hosting, or Search Console steps I must do myself.
