Fast Link Checker is used to find broken links on web sites. It works like a search engine bot (Googlebot, MSNBot, WISENutbot, Alexa, etc.). You specify the starting file and Fast Link Checker goes through all pages this file has links to until it checks all links on the site. If Fast Link Checker finds a broken link, it shows its position in the document, the reason why it does not work and a hint how the link can be fixed.                                                                    Fast Link Checker has a flexible management system and can check links to documents, images, scripts and other files. You can check links either only on one page or restrict the level of subdirectories it checks.
