¿Usted tiene a menudo problemas con acoplamientos quebrados? Es usted cansado de ver 404 ¿o página no encontrada del error del “archivo o del directorio”? Si usted es revelador de la tela o un usuario que es irritado por un Web site con esta edición quebrada del acoplamiento, este libre herramienta está para usted.

Irónico, Página de Wikipedia para el detective del acoplamiento de Xenu tiene un acoplamiento quebrado en su sección de la nota al pie de la página:

http://www.curriculum.edu.au/SCIS/connections/cnetw02/43xenu.htm

Escrito por a programador eso está como fed para arriba como usted con acoplamientos, los arrastres del detective del acoplamiento de Xenu el Web site entero y las comprobaciones para quebrados acoplamientos quebrados y después crea un informe resumido de todos los acoplamientos quebrados encontró. El nombre Xenu se deriva de un dios que haga las malas cosas - él es como el Satan del mundo de Scientology - Tilman, el programador de Scientology, es un culto y crítico ávidos de Scientology así que pienso que él utilizó “Xenu” para de imitación los seguidores fanáticos del culto.

The most important part of the report is the list of broken links so we can identify them:

From a web developer point of view, this can be fixed by:

1. making the missing page available OR

2. removing the broken link from the pages that point to the missing page.

Given the case above and considering what is the best way to finish the job, looks like step 1 is more practical to implement since only one file will be affected instead of many files.

What if you are only the user and don’t have direct control of these files? Well, first you can try to find the “Contact Us” page or email the admin if you have their contact details. Quality websites usually fix the issue very quickly – they don’t want to have irritated readers.

Now, to get the overall picture of the whole site scroll to the bottom part of the report to see the aggregated result:

So, from the report I can see that out of 6299 URLs only 17 are not found or only .27%. Depending on your standard or level of discomfort towards broken links this could be interpreted as either good, bad or in the middle – don’t really matter.

This tool enables you to find quality shortcomings of websites that don’t check their pages for broken links. With a tool like Xenu’s Link Sleuth, link checking is only a few clicks away.
