🆕 Customize link position rules in your crawl setup

Hello ,

You can now define your own CSS selectors for Header, Footer, Navigation, and Aside to fine-tune how Oncrawl classifies internal links by page zone.

By default, Oncrawl uses standard HTML tags like header, footer, nav, and aside, but you can now edit these default values and add multiple rules per zone to better match your site structure.

How to set it up:

Go to your crawl configuration → Analysis → Link Position.
​

A few tips:

• Edit the default selectors if needed
• Add several rules per zone when your templates vary
• Test the setup on a few URLs, ideally across different page templates
• Save your changes before launching the crawl

This update affects link position metrics and filters in the Link dataset. It does not change URL discovery during the crawl.
