As your blog fills up with posts, there is a high
probability that the external off-blog links you refer to might become outdated
overtime. Also, if you use third-party services to store your images, software,
or other reference files, might become broken. Therefore, it is a good idea
once awhile to perform blog maintenance and restore the links functionality.
However, checking manually one-by-one might be a tiresome and time-consuming
procedure. Today, we would like to present a free portable utility, which is
going to help you performing the task.
Xenu's Link Sleuth checks Web sites for broken
links. Link verification is done on "normal" links, images, frames,
plug-ins, backgrounds, local image maps, style sheets, scripts and java
applets. It displays a continuously updated list of URLs which you can sort by
different criteria. A report can be produced at any time.
Additional features:
- Simple,
no-frills user-interface
- Can
re-check broken links (useful for temporary network errors)
- Simple
report format, can also be e-mailed
- Executable
file smaller than 1MB
- Supports
SSL websites ("https:// ")
- Partial
testing of ftp, gopher and mail URLs
- Detects
and reports redirected URLs
- Site
Map
System requirements:
Microsoft Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/Vista/7,
WININET.DLL required (included with Internet Explorer).
How to make utility portable (optional):
Download the ZIP package and extract. Extract the installer to a folder of your
choice with Universal Extractor. Delete $PLUGINSDIR folder. Launch Xenu.exe.
