Man, I can’t recommend this thing enough.

Xenu Link Slueth is a great tool for checking a site for broken links and images. It also shows that a good tools can last, this thing has been out forever and I still find it to be one of my most used tools.

It rocks for several key reasons:

1. It’s crazy fast compared to most of the web-based tools.
2. The report it generates is incredibly detailed. It lists broken links by page, link and error code as well as providing a basic site map.
3. It allows you to scan sites that are password protected.
4. Above all else, it’s free.

Download it and show Tilman Hausherr some love.
