Website Verification - Filters
The filters provided in the application can help you sort out and analyze
data received in the result of a specified website verification performed by
the program. The filtration is carried out automatically, and you can look
through the results by simply clicking on an item on the list.
Please note that each filter name is accompanied with a number, which
indicates the number of links that has come through the filter and placed in
this section.
All links:
Shows all links found on the site, regardless to whether they are valid or not. It doesn't take into account
whether the links have been verified by the program or whether the process
was interrupted.
Good links:
This filter shows only links that have successfully passed the verification.
In other words, these links haven't caused any errors.
Broken links:
In this section, you can find all links checked by the program and found
inaccessible for some reasons. If you choose one of the subsections, the list
will show you all links that couldn't be accessed for a specific reason.
By default, the following filters are available:
- 404 Not found
- 401 Unauthorized
- 403 Forbidden
- 500 Internal error
- Timeout
- Socket error
However, you can change this in the program's options (View -> Options -> Website
Verification -> Broken Links Groups). If you want to see pages with broken
links, mark a link to be selected and then click on the "Parents" tab at
the bottom of the screen.
Non verified links:
This section shows links found on the site but not verified for certain
reasons; e.g., if the verification of some links had been disabled by user.
Unsupported links:
This section contains links to login scripts or to objects with protocols
not supported by the program (mailto, RTSP, etc.)
Aborted links:
Shows links scheduled for the verification but not verified due
to canceling the operation by user. The verification of aborted links can be
continued by selecting the menu: Action -> Continue with Aborted Links.
Internal links:
Lists pages stored on the same level or below the starting page, including
all - verified and not verified, valid and invalid pages.
External links:
You can use this filter to view the links to the external sites only.
The external links are the links indicating the servers different from
the starting page server or placed in the higher level directories of
the same server.
Pages processed:
This section contains the list of pages scanned by the program. If you want
to find out which links have been found on a specific page, double-click it
and choose the "Children" tab at the screen bottom. Moreover, this section
contains additional filters:
-
Pages with broken links - the list of pages containing broken links.
-
Slow pages - the pages that will loaded slowly because of their size (use the Profile -> Page optimization -> Slow pages value to specify the size limit).
-
Small pages - the pages that are smaller than the specified size set by the Profile -> Page optimization -> Small pages value.
-
New pages - recently updated or created pages. The number of days is set by the Profile -> Page optimization -> New pages value.
-
Old pages - the pages that haven't been updated during the period specified in Profile -> Page optimization -> Old pages.
-
Deep pages - the pages placed deep in the directory structure. The limit is set in Profile -> Page optimization -> Deep pages.
Redirected links:
Using this filter you can view links that don't lead to any pages but instead
redirect users to other addresses.
Found in HTML tags:
As links can be places inside different HTML tags, this filter lets you sort
out the addresses by the tags from which they were extracted. For instance,
if you need only pictures, they are certainly placed inside the <IMG> tag.
Protocols:
In this section you can view links sorted by the protocols used.
Filename extension:
Use this filter to view all found links sorted by the file extensions.
File groups:
This filter lets you view the links sorted by the file groups. When it's
not specified the main groups are: Web documents, Web graphics, Archive files,
Sound&Music and Videos. You can add other groups or change the already
existing ones via the Options menu of the program (View -> Options -> Website
Verification -> File Groups).
Failed page rules:
Shows pages that do not match any page rule defined by user. To define
page rules, click on the Profile button on the toolbar, then select Page Rules
in the window that appears and follow the instructions.
Pages with spelling errors:
Lists pages with spelling errors. Clicking on the plus by the filter's name
expands the words list if more than one misspelled word has been found.
To locate a selected error in the web page file, click on the misspelled word
below the filter name, then double-click on the URL in the frame to the right
and then click on the Spell Checker tab in the frame at the bottom. That will
display the misspelled word and its position in the selected file.

This section contains the directory tree of an examined site.
