Exercise 6: Publishing an HTML Site Report

[ Table of Contents | Previous Exercise | Next Exercise ]

Linkbot's analysis results can also be viewed in an informative HTML Site Report. The Site Report is made up of ten integrated HTML pages:

1. Summary: provides a quick overview of the site's major problem areas.
2. Warnings: lists all non-critical problems like re-directed URLs and syntax problems.
3. Broken Links: shows each broken URL and all the pages that reference it.
4. Broken Pages: shows all pages that contain broken URLs.
5. What's New?: lists all URLs that have been changed in a specified time interval.
6. What's Old?: lists all URLs that have not been changed in a specified time interval.
7. What's Slow?: shows all pages that will take too long for users to download.
8. Orphans: lists all files that are on the Web server but are not in use.
9. Image Catalog: lists the site's images in a thumbnail matrix.
10. Site Map: Displays the hierarchical structure of your site.

Both the analysis of your site and the generation of the HTML Site Reports can be automated using Linkbot's built in scheduler. More about this in Exercise 11.
