Product Description:

WebLight is a web site analyzer that allows users to identify broken and redirected links, HTML/accessiblity problems, and links to and from resources. Users can prioritize categories of problems, locate effected resources, and check their repairs. This reduces the time required to test these aspects of the websites allowing developers to spend more time developing and less time testing and debugging while producing more reliable sites. WebLight can be used freely to check small sites (less than 24 URL's).

What's new in this version:

  • Improved HTML issue reporting
  • Corrected DNS related issues that caused poor responsiveness
  • Several bug fixes

WebLight ReviewTerrific! - Version: 4.0.8, 11/20/2006 01:51AM PST

I tested each link checker I found in VersionTracker and this one is the best. It not only checks for broken links, it also validates pages for HTML 4.01. Although it only does the Framework document type and I use Strict, it still helps find things that the W3C HTML validator misses. Other much more expensive apps are not as easy to use or as fast. I especially liked that the results can be saved in several formats and the report doesn't slow my whole system down just trying to bring up the HTML of the report in Firefox. The Firefox plug-in is nice but it only does one page at a time and doesn't let you save the results to work with later. WebLight does an entire site. You can save the results to recheck fixes, or clear the whole thing and recheck the site (I prefer that method because some fixes my affect many results). Support is also responsive and helpful.

WebLight does it's job very well. You can see any link and html issues. Fix them and check again until you get a perfect site.

It was made in Java and its behavior is not actually 100% as native Mac applications. Anyway, it is the only one with a such power.

I highly recommend it.
