Thread: Tools for checking dead links

A dead link is any clickable text that should take you to a document, image or webpage, that actually results in "page not found", a time out or any other type of error.

A good FF browser add ons that check the validity of links on any webpage, this includes the dead link or bad link is: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/532

It works nice and find dead link or bad link easily...

Xenu is also great! It shows you redirects, old to new page, broken links files etc, it even produces a nice html sitemap of you.

Share here other great broken link tools.
Thanks

Also http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/...-link-checker/ is great!

* Monitors links in your posts, pages, the blogroll, and custom fields .
* Detects links that don't work and missing images.
* Makes broken links display differently in posts .
* Link checking intervals can be configured
and more....

HI i m using Firefox 3.5 but this addon not working on that browser

I was talking about this at UKWW recently , i was shown this :
http://validator.w3.org/checklink

which looks for broken links etc, does a great job

Xenu Super Sleuth is good for finding any dead links on your websites!

I think Xenu is the best tool to deal with dead links or bad links on the website so that you can make great decision to use and love it.

This is the best deadlink checker - 'dead-links.com"
