Sometimes the seemingly simplest question is the hardest to answer!
There are times when you just want to know how many web pages are on a domain. It would be easy just to give a total of the number of files on the sever however that tells you the number total of all the images, web pages and other documents. If you just want to know how many web pages there are here is a little trick I learned.
- Go to google.com on a desktop machine. Didn’t seem to work on my iPad
- Type in site:www.yourdomain.com (change “yourdomain.com” to be yours of course!)
- Note the little gray numbers under the search. This is how many pages are on the site
NOTE: this is a great way to browse the content of a site that hasn’t linked to all their content or their content is buried deep in their site.
See below of an 8 page site I designed.
Now look at how many pages the college site has that work for!
