If you have a Web site, you should know that it's important to keep it up to date. It can be difficult to get traffic to your site in the first place, and once you have it, obviously, you want to keep people coming back to your site. One of the things that will 'turn off' a visitor to your site is 'broken links'. A broken link gives the impression that you're not taking care of your site, much like a broken window in a hotel would discourage visitors.

Unless your site is a single page, you probably use links as your main navigation tool. You might have links at the top of a page that take the user farther down on the same page, thus preventing excessive scrolling. You also might have links that take users to other pages on your site. Both of these are internal links. There can also be external links i. e. leading to the resources outside your site. Obviously, you don't control all of the web sites that you're linking to, so when a link 'breaks', it's often not your fault, but it makes you look bad regardless. The best way to avoid this problem is to check those links on a regular basis to prevent problems. Link Utility will check your site both for internal and external links and if there are problems with any of them, report to you.

Link Utility is a powerful link checking and site management tool that helps webmasters automate the process of web site testing. The program performs thorough analysis of the web site with easy-to-understand reports, program delivers the insight you need to make decisions that improve your web site effectiveness. It identifies many common HTML tags and finds links inside them as well as in most common scripts, like JavaScript, Macromedia Flash objects, CSS elements, etc. Program also checks image <IMG> tags for ALT, HEIGHT and WIDTH attributes. And finally it identifies orphans (files that exist but are never referenced) and other outdated content.
