Price: $1.99, Version: 4.1.1 -> 4.2.2 (iTunes)
Description:- Scans your site checking for broken links- Checks images as well as all internal and external links- See problems at-a-glance highlighted in colour. Double-click for more detailed information- In short, improve your website's quality and search engine rankingIf you've maintained a website for any length of time, you'll know that links very quickly become broken, because we move, delete or change our own pages, and other people that we link to do the same.A broken link on your site is a dead end for your visitors and will also be bad news for your search engine optimisation (SEO).Unless you enjoy clicking every single link on your site followed by the back button, then you'll need to use a website crawler like Integrity!Feed it your home page address (url) and Integrity will follow all of your internal links to find your pages, checking the server response code for all internal and external links found.On features - Integrity is very reasonably-priced and is intended to be no more than a simple but effective link checker. Note that Scrutiny provides more advanced features such as managing multiple sites, crawling pages requiring authentication and webmaster features which go beyond link checking.
What's New
improvements to interface for productivity:- Changes the 'by link' view to an expandable view, occurrences can be seen by expanding view rather than as previously having to open the link inspector - Link inspector still appears on double-click from link views and is improved- Adds context menus to the 'by link' and 'by page' views and the 'appears on' table in the link inspector - a number of actions can be performed with a right-click (or control-click) including 'Copy URL' and where appropriate, Visit, Highlight and Locate- The new Copy URL action is available with a command-C and will copy the URL of the selected item- A new Locate action lists how to click through from the starting url to find the link in question. It is available via context menus, the link inspector and cmd-shift-L- Adds 'link text' column to 'by page' view- Change to wording: 'on page' is now called 'appears on'- Changes default for highlighting a link on the page - now looks like highlighter pen rather than a box around it (changes prefs defaults to 'background' rather than 'border', and changes the default colour to yellow rather than dark grey - ie (existing users can select this option in prefs if they like))Also:- Ignores and continues if 'bad SSL certificate' warning is encountered. But only for the website being tested. (anything else, ie external links, won't be followed anyway)- If image checking is switched on, now collects alt text and displays in 'link text' columns- Some options removed from Preferences>Views>By Link view (Status, URL, On Page) because these are needed for the new outline view to work properly- Exporting from 'by link' view better than previously. (was putting all 'on page' information in a single cell to reflect the view - led to problems due to Excel's 256-character limit)- Export added to by Page view- Exports from expandable views reflect the state of the view, ie which rows are expanded or not
