It is a good idea to occasionally review your content to make sure it is up-to-date. Sometimes, you might have a page that is not connected to the menu (e.g., you deleted the menu link but not the page itself; or you created a page and never added it to the menu) that gets forgotten about. These "orphaned" webpages may still appear in search results, providing website visitors with outdated information.

To review pages within Drupal:

  • When logged in, hover over Content in the admin toolbar (the paper icon).
  • Click Overview.
  • The Content Overview page shows you all of the content on your site. By default, this list is sorted by most recently updated.
    • Note: The "Author" of a page is the person who created the page (unless the Author field has been manually updated), not the person who last updated that page.
  • Click the Updated column header to sort by last updated.

This is a good place to review content that has not been updated recently. If you don't recognize a page, click the page title to view it, and see if the page still makes sense to keep. Check to see if the page is in a menu. If not, consider whether you may be linking to that page from within another page's content rather than from the menu.

Using DubBot

Web & Mobile Services pays for a service called DubBot which crawls some of our websites every 6 days to check for accessibility issues, best practices, broken links, SEO issues, misspellings, etc. Note that DubBot uses a website's sitemap to find the pages to check. If you have an orphaned page on your site, it may not be detected by DubBot.

Not all Lehigh websites are monitored by DubBot. DubBot monitors the college websites, multiple stem and department websites, and other custom websites. We have submitted a sample of "standard" Drupal websites to DubBot to ensure that we have accessibility monitoring on our standard theme and functionality. I.e., if an issue is detected on one standard website, WMS makes changes that resolves this issue across all standard websites. Of course, individual website content itself still varies.

If your website is monitored by DubBot, it is a good idea to regularly review the reports and make changes to your website to address flagged concerns.

If your website is not monitored by DubBot and you are interested, reach out to WMS to learn more.
