As well as broken links, DeepTrawl also finds missing or dead images.
Missing images annoy users. The page loses content and the page layout can also be adversely affected.
DeepTrawl can attempt to download the images on your pages and will report a problem if any of the following errors occur:
- HTTP error codes (404 etc.)
- Unreachable servers
- Malformed URLs
Running DeepTrawl regularly to find missing images is recommended. This will ensure the images from your site and those hosted on other web sites appear as they should.
