WordPress includes numerous distinct types of pages.
Here’s a comprehensive list of all the possible page types with explanations for the more complex one:
- Posts
- Pages
- Categories
- Tags
- Blog / Posts page
- This is only present on sites that display their posts on the homepage and haven’t selected a static homepage via the Settings > Reading menu
- Author archives
- Every author has an archive page automatically generated by WordPress
- Date archives (Year/Month/Day)
- Archives for the year, month, and day each post was published are automatically generated by WordPress
- Custom Post Types
- Each CPT is listed separately
- Custom Taxonomies
- Each taxonomy is listed separately
- Custom Post Type Archives
- This is an archive listing all published posts of the custom post type and is automatically generated by WordPress
- Search results page
- Every search query gets a dynamically generated page
- 404s
- These are URLs where no page was found. While technically not pages, 404s are still recorded and included in your analytics
