Audit Internal Links with a Site Crawler

Learn how to map crawlable pages and discover broken or poorly connected sections of a website. Follow a practical workflow, check the exported result, and avoid common quality or compatibility problems.

When this tool is useful

Map crawlable pages and discover broken or poorly connected sections of a website. A good result depends on choosing the right input, understanding the output settings, and checking the final file or configuration in the place where it will be used. Start with a copy of your source so you can compare the result and return to the original if needed.

Step-by-step workflow

Enter the correct public start url, crawl within the intended scope, group results by status and path, and verify important pages manually. Before downloading or publishing, confirm that the output matches your intended use. If the tool offers a preview, compare it with the original rather than judging the result from a thumbnail alone.

Quality and safety checks

A crawler can miss pages blocked from access or exposed only through scripts. Compare results with the sitemap and analytics, and avoid crawling systems you do not own or manage. Keep sensitive information private, use files and assets you have permission to process, and verify important results in the destination application or browser. If the output will be used for business, accessibility, legal, or technical decisions, review it rather than relying on automation alone.

Related tools

For the next step, you may also use Site Crawler, Sitemap Visualizer and Redirect Checker. Choose a related tool only when it solves a separate part of the task; unnecessary conversions or edits can reduce quality.
