While searching for directories that are not referenced anywhere on a site, which method best pinpoints pages that might be left out of common navigation?
Searching traffic records for individual requests
Inspecting certificate logs for additional domains
Reviewing the file used to guide automated bots about restricted zones
Reviewing the file that instructs crawlers on restricted paths is a thorough approach for finding directories that administrators did not want indexed. Other solutions may uncover different details—for instance, traffic records help trace user patterns, and plugin testing focuses on platform components—but these do not expose excluded directories as effectively. Certificate logs may reveal additional domains, yet they offer limited insight into specific site paths.
