SProbot highlights sites which contain subsites, enabling you to determine a way forward to move content into a more modern structure if necessary.

Why should this be reviewed?

Microsoft does not recommend using subsites in its modern information architecture documentation. Subsites are mostly bad because they result in overly complex navigation at different levels, and can also cause access confusion with overcomplicated permission configuration. If you're still using subsites, it's recommended that you consider moving content into a modern flat structure using hubs instead.

Subsites do not cause any immediate critical issues, but it is good to be aware of their existence for planning purposes.
