Debating whether to restructure our site into strict topic silos or keep a flat linking structure. What does the PageRank data say about which distributes equity better?

Silos concentrate equity within topic clusters, which is great for topical authority signals. Flat structures spread equity more evenly. The answer depends on your goals: if you're targeting specific topic dominance, silos win. If you have a broad content site, flat structures prevent equity dead-ends. Use LinkJuice to simulate both — check your top target pages' PageRank under each structure and choose based on data, not theory.

Has anyone tried combining the LinkJuice export with a PageSpeed Insights run? We added CWV scores as a third column to the export and now we prioritise pages that have both poor internal linking AND poor Core Web Vitals — those are the ones crawlers struggle with most.

We do quarterly internal link audits now. The before/after comparison feature is genuinely useful — I can show my client a concrete 'your PageRank went from 0.4 to 1.1' for the target page after our linking sprint. Much easier to justify the work than just showing ranking screenshots.
