Broken Link Checker - Xenu Link Sleuth (tm)

Xenu's Link Sleuth (tm) checks your web pages and entire Websites for broken links.

I find it to be an incredibly useful tool when checking large sites and especially for sites that have not been checked for a while. My wife has a site that has not been touched since 1995 and I am trying to clean that up and move it into Wordpress. It is going to take a while but if you want to take a look at the "BEFORE:" condition, you can see it at Life Story Writing

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 and gopher sites
  • Detects and reports redirected URLs
  • Site Map

When you have older blogs with lots of posts and hundreds or thousands of links inside those posts, Xenu makes the job easy, giving you neat and tidy lists that you can work from as you clean up all the old links that have gone away or moved over the years.
