Arbo du site

Internet, e-Commerce
Hello,
this is a heading in a website text above a long list of website pages.
It's obviously something to do with some part/level of a website, and below are two sentences I found in google that show how it's used - any ideas what the term might be in English?
Many thanks!
"Etant donné que les pages a "lightboxer" existent déjà et qu'elles se situent toujours toutes au niveau 4 de l'arbo du site"
"Est-il aussi possible de faire en sorte que ce même plugin ou composant écrive dans un fichier texte existant dans l'arbo du site."

French term (edited):
arbo(rescence) du site
Site arborescence
Arbo is just an amputated version of arborescence - same in English and French.
However, if it is an ordinary site destined for end users, I would go with sitemap as suggested by gflan. Only in a very technical/scientific context would I use arborescence, and only if it had a particular meaning over and above sitemap. A question to ask yourself is why they haven't simply used 'plan du site', as the average French end user may not understand 'arbo' anyway.

: that's the closest to the ST - why dumbing down in the translation?

Thanks. Dumbing down could be defended if the target group are a non-IT group such as consumers for example, in the interest of comprehension.
