How to Find Broken Links, Missing Titles, Image alt text with Xenu’s Link Sleuth tool

Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

Jonny from Jonnys Blog left a comment few days back on my Previous Post Broken Links Remover – A must Wordpress Plugin. He mentioned a freeware tool that can check all the broken links of any website. I took a look at that freeware software. It is a great tool to use for all the webmasters.

Xenu’s Link Sleuth is a freeware tool to check Broken Links of your website. It uses multi-threading to scan broken links. Hence, it is very fast compared to any other link checking software. Given the URL of the website, It can come up with all the broken links withe the details like title, type, size etc. It does all this pretty quickly.

How to use Xenu’s Link Sleuth

  1. Download and install the program
  2. Run the program and enter the URL of the website which you want to check
  3. Now it will check for all links like normal links, images, backgrounds, style sheets, scripts and java applets.

I am using Iolo’s System Mechanic tool from year 2001. For me it is a must tool on my PC. I loved this tool very much, But stopped using the tool as i didn’t like trial version software’s.

Something about System Mechanic tool:

If you are having a massive slowdown on your Windows machine (which you definitely will after months or years of formatting), it’s worth to give System Mechanic 8 a try to scan your computer for potential problems.

How to Find and Remove Duplicate Images or Pictures from your PC

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

Most of us save Images, Pictures, Wallpapers in our PC from the Internet, CD’s, Friend’s PC or photos taken from our Digital Camera. Most of us love to have a collection of beautiful images, pictures in any format like jpeg, bmp, gif or any other extension. After some days, months and years, your hard drive will have hundreds and thousands of images. And definitely there might be duplicate ones lying around on your drives eating up your hard disk space.

Today, i want to share a tool that i am using from last 4-5 years. With this tool, you can remove the duplicate pictures.

The tool is DupDetector, its a free ware. Click DupDetector to download it.

Below are the screen shots that show you the steps to find and remove duplicate images/pictures:

  1. First select the method for comparing images/pictures from the method tab.

    2. DupDetector - the method for comparing images from the method tab

  2. Click on Get data tab and click on Open… button and select the folder that contains all the images that you want to compare and then click Build.. button. The building of data file takes some time, so have a cup of tea or coffee and come back.

    3. DupDetector - Build the data file

  3. Click on Find dups tab and change the percentage if you want. I would recommend keep it as it is and proceed to next step.

    4. DupDetector - Find Duplicate Images

  4. Click on View dups tab and Click on Find dups button , It will show up all the duplicate images that are lying on your drive. Now Simply choose one out of the two duplicate images to remove it. The removed files will be moved to recycle bin. Thats it…

    5. DupDetector - Compare and Delete duplicate images

In this way, i have removed a lot of duplicate images/pictures and got back hard disk space that was taken up by duplicate images.

Hope you all find it useful. Pour in with your feedback by posting comments.
