A link-checker checks the validity of all HTML links on a Web site. Most can start at one or more "seed" HTML files, and recursively test all URLs found at that site ("recursively" means when it finds an HTML file, it searches that for links, and so on). This program doesn't follow URLs at other sites, but it does check their existence.

LinkController is a group of programs designed to take away much of the work of maintaining the links in a web site. Instead of the user running the program checking whether links are broken, LinkController does this automatically. When it finds a broken link it checks it several times across several days before reporting it broken. This means that if a link is repaired in the meantime (a common case), the user will never be bothered.

What does the Dead Link check tell me?
This check indicates whether links throughout your site, or per page, are connecting as you expect them to.
2. How many links are checked?
All links on your web site will be checked. Remember, the proccess will slow down if you have over 50 links per page.
3. What if a link is reported as a "failed"?
We recommend manually checking such links. If it is a link to a site that you do not maintain, and if the connection is very slow to respond, 69Boss.com may not have been able to verify the link. If the link is internal to your site, you should verify the HTML structure.
4. What about links to secure documents and password protected pages?
We respect your privacy, therefore we check only links that are open for anonymous access. Links that require passwords and links on Secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol will be marked as "failed".
