Over time the links on a website usually start to rot. This means your websites viewers can be annoyed by not finding the content they need and can lead them to leave your website.
This is a major problem for anyone who owns a website. Using your browser to manually check links can be an extremely time consuming job. Imagine opening every page of your site and manually clicking every link to see if it works correctly. At best for a small site this wastes time which could be better spent. At worst for a larger site this could literally be a never ending job; as soon as you've finished you need to start again.
Some link checking tools only check one page at a time for broken links. This saves you some time but still forces you to enter your pages, one at a time.
DeepTrawl is different. With one click it can scan your entire website for problems. Every broken link is presented in an easy to read fashion. You're shown the page where each link is located. DeepTrawl can even highlight the link for you in your web browser and in the integrated html editor so you an fix the problem right away.
DeepTrawl is available for Windows & Mac OSX.
What does DeepTrawl do to check links?
DeepTrawl can check links in every page of your site including the following types of broken links:
- 404 errors (due to a page being renamed or removed);
- Unavailable servers (due to the website being removed or the web server being temporarily disconnected from the Internet);
- Missing bookmarks / anchors (caused by a link pointing to a particular part of a page which isn't marked properly).
DeepTrawl was build from the ground up to be the number one tool to check links but it also performs many other checks on your website. For instance our tool will also show you all the spelling mistakes and incorrect html in your site. You can even define new types of problems to search for.
