Check Your Website Links

June 28th, 2006 by Juuso

A quick and terribly useful hint for website updates: check your website links by clicking them after you’ve updated your site. I just found out that the gameproducer.net interviews category link was broken. I accidently clicked it and found out this.

Don’t just believe that you’ll copy & paste everything okay… make sure to click the links you place – especially the download and purchase links. Check them also when you place them to different web pages. Make sure the links work.

EDIT: James & Ken recommended free link checking software Xenu’s Link Sleuth which seems to work nicely. Thanks for the tip guys.

    You can use Xenu’s Link Sleuth (which is free) to automatically check your links. Very handy.

    Agreed with the above comment.

    I ALWAYS use Xenu to check the site after publishing, it often catches something!
