Exercise 6
Publishing HTML Site Report

When Linkbot analyses a site it creates an HTML Site Report that summarizes and consolidates the information presented in Linkbot's project window.  The Site Report is saved in HTML do that you can review it in a Web browser. It is made up of twelve interlinked HTML pages and a main contents page:

  1. Summary: provides a quick overview of the site's major problem areas.
  2. Warnings: lists all non-critical problems like re-directed URLs and syntax problems.
  3. Broken Links: shows each broken URL and all the pages that reference it.
  4. Broken Pages: shows all pages that contain broken URLs.
  5. What's New?: lists all URLs that have been changed in a specified time interval.
  6. What's Old?: lists all URLs that have not been changed in a specified time interval.
  7. What's Slow?: shows all pages that will take too long for users to download.
  8. Orphans: lists all files that are on the Web server but are not in use.
  9. Image Catalog: lists the site's images in a thumbnail matrix.
  10. Missing Titles: lists all pages that are missing the titles tags.
  11. Missing Attributes: lists all images and applets that are missing alt, height and width tags.
  12. Site Map: Displays the hierarchical structure of your site.

Note: Both the analysis of your site and the generation of the HTML Site Reports can be automated using Linkbot's built in scheduler (See Exercise 11)
