Link Valet is a WWW Link checker. It uses an HTML table to present the links in a page, and a CSS Stylesheet to highlight information that is likely to be of interest to you.
The table of links comprises three columns:
Link Valet may not attempt to check every link:
Link Valet Online
(including of course links
forbidden to all robots).
When Link Valet refuses to check a link, it will always tell you why.
The following illustrate the meanings of highlighting controlled by the stylesheet. You will need a stylesheet-enabled browser to take advantage of this information.
Link types are as follows:
A link that is forbidden by Robot Rules. |
A link that is a Form Action. |
A link that has not been checked. |
The numbers shown here are examples in each category. See HTTP Status Codes for further information.
500 | An Error. The server could not be contacted, or refused to return a document at the URL given. |
301 | Document has moved and the server has redirected us. Link Valet will tell you where. |
200 | The document was found, but has changed since you last checked. |
200 | The document was found, and has not changed recently. |
200 | The server didn't tell us when the document last changed. |
200 | The server may return different documents from the same URL (e.g. different language versions). Link Valet will show further information. |
Note that both new and old documents may have multiple versions.
