Checking URL List

Xenu's Link Sleuth

Xenu also provides you with the ability to scan a limited set of links (e.g. a subsection of your site, or a couple of related pages etc.):

  1. Create a text file with the URLs you want to check, one URL per row.
  2. To load this file in Xenu, use Check URL list command in File menu.
  3. Xenu will check all links on submitted URLs and generate the report.

When you scan links using this method, all the URLs in your start text file get level 0, the links on these pages get level 1, and so on.

Note: When running a scan for URL list, it is not possible to exclude "external" links from the scan like when checking a single URL!
