                                 Fast Link Checker

One of the most important indicators of a high-quality site is absence of broken
links. There is nothing worse for a user than coming across  either a link  that
leads nowhere or an empty square instead of an  image.  Broken links  ruin  your
reputation and bring down your rating on search  engines.  For  example,  Google
rates your site lower if it finds broken links  there. Broken links are not just
errors in the design of a site that can be overlooked,  but they  can  cost  you
rating, traffic and money.

Thus, you need a program that would search all pages of  your  site  for  broken
links and give you a detailed report about all found broken  links. The  program
must check links to all pages both on this and external sites,  the availability
of images, scripts, style sheets and other objects linked to  pages.  It must be
able to check links on the entire site, on one of its pages or in one directory.

Fast Link Checker is used for searching sites for broken links.  It  works  like
a robot of a search engine (Googlebot, MSNBot,  WISENutbot,  Alexa,  etc.).  You
specify the file to start checking from and Fast Link  Checker goes through  all
pages this file has links to until it checks all links on the site. If Fast Link
Checker finds a broken link, it shows its position in the  document,  the  cause
why it does not work and a hint how it can be   fixed.  Fast  Link  Checker  has
a flexible management system and can check links to  documents, images,  scripts
and other files.  You can check links either only on one page  or  restrict  the
level of subdirectories.  Fast Link Checker can check links in  files  available
via the HTTP,  HTTPS, FTP or  FILE  protocols  and  ignores  all  Gopher,  News,
Chrome, news: and mailto:  links.  It  supports  HTTP,  HTTPS  and  SOCKS  proxy
servers. Fast  Link  Checker  allows  you  to  generate  and  save  reports.  It
implements a multithreaded algorithm allowing it to download and  check  several
pages at a time, which considerably increases the performance.
