Xenu Link Sleuth crawls websites to find broken links and check URLs across pages and embedded resources. It verifies text links, images, frames, style sheets, scripts and other page elements, while keeping an updating, sortable list of results. The tool detects redirects, can recheck failed links to help rule out temporary network errors, and produces reports that can be emailed. It also supports SSL websites and includes a site map feature. Freeware for Windows, it is suited to site owners and editors carrying out link audits and routine maintenance.

Xenu Link Sleuth is a desktop website crawler for finding broken links and checking whether URLs on a site respond as expected. It is intended for website owners, editors and administrators who need to audit a site's links without checking pages one at a time. The program scans a starting website and builds an ongoing list of URLs, making it possible to review results while the crawl is still running.

The checker goes beyond ordinary text links. It verifies links in images, frames, plug-ins, background elements, local image maps, style sheets, scripts and Java applets. As it works, Xenu updates its URL list and lets users sort the results by different criteria, helping them locate problem links or review parts of a site. It also detects redirected URLs, so the report can show when a link leads elsewhere rather than directly to its destination.

When a scan finds a failed link, it can be checked again. This is useful for distinguishing a persistent broken link from a temporary network error. Users can produce a report at any point in the scan, then use the straightforward report format to review or share findings; reports can also be sent by email. A site map feature provides another way to examine the structure of a scanned website. The interface is deliberately simple, with the URL list and scan results at the center of the workflow.

Xenu Link Sleuth can assist with routine website maintenance, pre-publication checks and periodic audits after pages or site structures change. A site administrator can scan a domain, inspect failures and redirects, revisit questionable results, and pass the report to someone responsible for fixing the affected pages. The program also supports SSL websites and offers partial testing of FTP and Gopher sites, extending its checks beyond standard web pages in some cases.

The software is freeware for Windows and is compatible with Windows 7 as well as earlier Windows releases including Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP and Windows Vista. Its executable is small, and the interface favors a direct link-checking workflow over a broad set of site-management tools. Xenu Link Sleuth focuses on identifying and reporting URL issues; correcting the links remains part of the site owner's maintenance process.
