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