REL Link Checker Lite for Windows

User Reviews

• easy to use for very small websites

  lixurion12999May 31, 2013

  Pros

  simple installation; fast results

  Cons

  the limit to check 1'000 links is very poor - even the best not free version (costs much too much) you can buy from the distributor offering this lite version wouldn't be able to check all the links of a site with much more than 20'000 links, so I will have to look for something more useful

  Summary

  good for websites with just a few links

• There is better

  xymptlxDecember 22, 2008

  Pros

  It probably does what it says

  Cons

  1000 link limitation. Interface needs improvement.

  Summary

  If your website has more than 1000 links you'll need to upgrade to the Pro version. I chose to go with the free Xenu Link Checker instead.

• SWEET!

  kbjrJanuary 19, 2007

  Pros

  Does exactly what I wanted it to do and that is, the ability to import a list of URLs and determine if they are valid or not. As a bonus, it will tell you where a re-direct points. Can take the results and export to Excel (very handy in my case)!

  Cons

  It gets down to the last 5 or 6 URLs and the application begins banging the CPU at a consistent 50%+. I let it go for about 10-15 min. then had to hit the stop button. Ended up checking these URLs manually. I don't have a huge problem with this, but it would be nice to know what the workaround is. Giving 5 stars anyway.

• Good tool, a little confusing at first

  gbh1935June 5, 2006

  Pros

  Good information in the results display. Nice ability to sort information.

  Cons

  it actually took a minute to figure out how to use it. I don't like having to look at the manual...

• pretty amazing - you just have to import the links first

  maple3sJanuary 2, 2006

  Pros

  free software, does an amazing job.

  Cons

  Could be more clear what to do to get the job done. First you have to import the links then you can have them verified.

• Not what I wanted

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  A lemmon! Installed like a breeze, hope it uninstalls the same way ;). This program only verified that my web pages existed. I already knew that. I could not get it to check the external links at all. What a waste of time.

  Pros

  Summary

  This is a great program. I hate websites where half the links are dead, it makes me leave their site! This will help you keep on top of dead links, EASILY.
