Scrutiny 8.4.0 – Web optimization tool suite

Scrutiny 8 is a suite of web optimization tools including link checking, SEO checks, Sitemap generation, page load speed test, html validation. Version 8 is a major update and includes these new features.

• Cleaner ‘task based’ interface
• Website monitoring of as many urls as you like with alerts on screen or by email, plus written to a log file
• Able to scan pdf documents for links
• Scheduling made easy with a few easy clicks (the old method using iCal will still work)
• On finish of a scheduled or manual scan, Scrutiny 5 can send an email, save a report, open a file or applescript, ftp the sitemap xml and other actions
• Opens and scans a list of links in html, plain text format or xml sitemap (automatically detected)
• Improved page analysis – finds more elements making up a page
• Scan a site for pages containing specific text

What’s New:

Version 8.4.0:

• when parsing .css files for background images urls, now properly ignores anything /* commented out like this */
• patches bug which could have caused the odd link url to be missed or a spurious link url if certain unlikely code appears in the page
• reduces some false positives by retrying urls once using GET if they fail the first time with certain errors under the more efficient (and default for external links) HEAD
