Graphics in Website Analysis

After a website scan has finished, you can see all URLs found in the analyze website tab.

You can see the state of the URLs by their icons:
  • ok : Server response 200 - OK.
  • error : Server error response code, e.g. 404 - Not Found.
  • unknown : Server HTTP response code never checked or unknown.

For details about an URL, just view the R.Code (response code) column value. For more info, see the help about internal linking.
