The users of your site are looking for information but what if they can't find it? Website broken links cause frustration for users and can cause them to leave your site. This costs you viewers and can even hurt the profitability of your venture. Website broken links can come in several forms:
- 404 errors (usually caused when a page is renamed or removed);
- Unreachable severs (because the server holding the linked page has ceased to exist or is temporarily disconnected from the Internet);
- Missing bookmarks / anchors (due to a link pointing to a specific part of a page which hasn't been marked correctly).
These errors are extremely common in websites. They can often occur after you update your own site but also appear when the website has been online, unchanged for a while. This is because your links to other sites can "rot" as pages are moved & removed on the sites you link to.
DeepTrawl is available for Windows & Mac OSX.
