When choosing a broken link validator there are a few things you should look for:
- The tool should be able to check for any type of broken link (404's, unreachable servers, missing bookmarks etc.);
- It should be able to check every page of your site with one click (some programs or services will only check page by page, so there's a lot of laborious work involved);
- The interface of the tool should be very easy to use (some tools simply present a long list of broken list without giving you any idea of where they are in your site);
- Excellent support should be provided for the tool. If you need help and guidance you need to know it's available.
DeepTrawl fulfills all of the above requirements. It's designed from the ground up to be incredibly easy to use. With just one click our broken link validator can show you every broken link in your site. It will show you the page which contains each broken link and even allows you to see the broken links highlighted in your browser or in the html editor, ready to be fixed.
DeepTrawl goes even further to make sure your site is always up to scratch. Link checking before and after you upload a new version of your site is essential but the links in live websites "rot". Over time links break because of changes to other websites. DeepTrawl offers the ability to set timers and have reports stored and emailed to you in case you're away from your desk.
DeepTrawl is available for Windows & Mac OSX.
