Xenu Link Sleuth is a very useful free website broken link checker, which can spider through whole website, check out broken links and give you a broken link report.

Broken links can be referred to as dead links which do not point to a valid web page. Actually before I ran this program, I didn’t even notice that I had broken links and had no idea about how many they are on my website.

A number of factors lead to links broken, even when you define the link incorrectly. Regardless of Google rank, a website with lots of broken links will frustrate the visitors. Any conscientious webmaster should strive to catch and fix them before visitors notice them.

• Site Map of HTML pages with a Title
• Broken page-local links
