lost <your-domain>: the pages of yours that backlinks point at and that answer 404 or 410, most referring
domains first, each with its links, the strongest referring domain and a suggested 301 target: the live page
in your own sitemaps (robots.txt or /sitemap.xml, indexes followed, up to 10 files and 50,000 pages) whose path
is closest, with the match from 0 to 1 and no suggestion under 0.50. One polite GET a page (redirects followed,
four at a time, at most 200 pages). Only 404 and 410 are dead, also at the end of a redirect chain; any other
HTTP error is reported as refused and no answer as unreachable, never as dead. Nothing is redirected. The
finding cites Google's page on redirects (301 or 308 for a page that has moved for good).
Referring domains beside every link count: audit reads up to 1,000 backlinks one by one from AIsa (--rows;
about $0.06, cached 7 days and shared with lost), and its anchor table, anchor findings and the log's
repeated-anchor finding say how many referring domains (or sites) are behind each count. Without an AIsa key
the top linking pages from GoAnyAPI stand in.
Site-wide links: one referring domain linking to one page of yours from 20 or more of its pages (--sitewide),
or from three or more with most of them in its footer, sidebar, header or navigation. Each is a note citing
Google's "widely distributed links in the footers or templates of various sites", is listed in its own table,
and counts as one link wherever a share is worked out (the anchor shares, also with --deep): "N links from
1 site, counted once".
Registrable domains: page.registrable keeps a subdomain of a shared host (github.io, blogspot.com,
netlify.app and the like) as its own referring domain; more two-label suffixes (org.uk, com.sg, co.za …).
page.fetch keeps the final URL of a request that ended in an HTTP error, so a redirect chain that ends in a
404 says where it ended.
audit now costs about $0.12, with --deep about $0.16.
