Navigation coverage analysis
What percentage of your declared pages can a visitor actually reach through your site's navigation? Quest gives you a single, honest number.
- BFS Depth-first navigation analysis
- Multi-locale Scan across language variants

The problem
Websites break silently. A page can return a 200 status code, pass every technical health check, and still be completely invisible to the people it was built for. If no navigation path leads to it, it might as well not exist.
Traditional crawlers verify that URLs resolve. Quest does something different: it starts from your homepage and navigates outward, following every link a real visitor could click. The result is a navigation coverage map that shows you exactly which pages are reachable, which are orphaned, and how deep your visitors need to go to find your content.
What it does
Capabilities
BFS depth progression
How many clicks from the homepage to any given page? Quest maps the depth of your entire site, surfacing content buried behind unnecessary navigation layers.
Sitemap-vs-reality comparison
Your sitemap declares one version of your site. Your navigation presents another. Quest shows you the gap between the two.
Multi-locale scanning
For sites with language variants, Quest scans each locale independently. A page reachable in English but orphaned in French is still a broken experience.
Frequently asked
Questions
What do I need to run a scan?
A URL. Quest starts from any page you give it and navigates outward using your site's own links. No server access, no configuration files, no code changes required.
How is Quest different from a traditional site crawler?
Crawlers check if pages exist. Quest checks if people can find them. A page can pass every crawl check and still be invisible to visitors if no navigation path leads to it.
Does Quest handle JavaScript-rendered sites?
Quest follows the links present in the rendered DOM. If your navigation is client-side rendered and produces standard anchor elements, Quest will follow them.
How long does a scan take?
It depends on the size of your site and the depth of your navigation. Most sites under 500 pages complete within a few minutes.
