Redirect analysis tool

[glass01]

I'm looking for a tool like this:

http://www.internetofficer.com/seo-tool/redirect-check/

that can check hundreds/thousands of URLs and give me a report as to which ones have been redirected.

Does anyone know of something that can do this?

A crawl of a website will do this such as the crawl test tool from SEOmoz. This will crawl up to 3,000 pages and can be found under the research tools tab.

Alternatively you could use the Screaming Frog SEO Spider which will crawl 500 urls for free or for £99 a year, the 500 url limit is removed.

Both crawl reports will give you detailed info about redirects.

I ran the test yesterday using the SEO Webcrawler Crawl Test. The URL.

The site I scanned was a site with three pages on the domain and several thousand external links. My goal is to find out if the external links are pointing at 301's or are broken.

How do I do this with this tool?

Hey John,

I presume you're more interested in external links that are pointing to URL's that are 302'd (temporary redirected) since they are basically missed opportunity along with those URL's that are broken.

Finding both are pretty easy to accomplish once you've run the SEOmoz crawl report.  Once its done it should show up here.  Download the report and open in excel.

When open, setup the following column filters based on section titles on row 6:

1. Filter to only show URL's that have external links pointing at them (column AO on my report)

2. Filter to only show 302 redirects (column S on my report)

3. Take note of resulting list which are those pages that have temp redirects AND which have external links pointing at them.

4. Now remove the 302 filter and apply filters for 4XX and 5XX "client errors" to find URL's that appear broken to the engines AND which have in-bound external links.

I hope that helps.

Cheers,

Stefan
