Xenu's Link Sleuth (TM) 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 continously updated list of URLs which you can sort by different criteria. A report can be produced at any time.

Here are some key features of "Xenu Link Sleuth":

· Simple, no-frills user-interface
· Can re-check broken links (useful for temporary network errors)
· Simple report format, can also be e-mailed
· Supports SSL websites ("https:// ")
· Partial testing of ftp and gopher sites
· Detects and reports redirected URLs
· Site Map
