A plain-language explanation
Link juice is a colloquial term for values and signals transferred between pages via links.
Where it helps in practice
The informal term describes signals passed through links but is not a precise unit that can be divided by a simple formula.
The decision before implementation
Design linking around user value and information hierarchy rather than mechanical “authority flow”.
How to verify the result
Review access to important pages, useful paths, anchor text and effects on indexing and traffic.
