A new software product has made its way to The Cafetorium eStore. It's a Web Link Checker.
We've all been there. After carefully crafting your website, you upload it to your webspace only to discover that you've mis-typed a link to another of your pages.
Web Link Checker lets you quickly and easily test all your internal links before you upload them.
It's a simple program - just choose an HTML page (usually your home page) and click the Test Links button. Within seconds the program will tell you which links are broken so you can fix them before the site goes live.
It's only £4.99, which is well worth it, especially if your site has a lot of pages.
However, as a software engineer, I've been inspired to write my own version of it.
Web Link Checker doesn't recognise encrypted links as created by EmailLinkMangler and other such programs.
I would also like a version that will test a site that has already been uploaded, and will also check links to external sites, because we don't have any control over the existence of those.
If you buy Web Link Checker now, but would like the improved version when it's available, you'll be able to get it by paying the difference in the price, so you won't lose out in the upgrade process. In fact, I might reward early buyers by giving a discount.
