IA Topical Focus ConfusionResolution:

Avoid flat architecture

Use consistent nesting model

Only use duplication in gentle ways

Have one product detail URL accessible from several category funnels if needed

(ideal is to include product in only one category funnel where possible)




IA Topical Focus ConfusionResolution:

Assign to categories only when data justifies!

Nest only as deep as data justifies!




Conclusion Apply the QUART test in all things!

Page speed testing requires multiple tools

Page speed improvements require looking at ALL areas

Topical focus requires consistent

Topical focus requires dilution avoidance
