Meta Forensics Alternatives
Meta Forensics is described as 'website architecture, internal link and SEO analysis tool that helps identify unseen website problems on your website'. There are nine alternatives to Meta Forensics, not only websites but also apps for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Mac, Linux and Wine. The best alternative is Xenu's Link Sleuth, which is free. Other great sites and apps similar to Meta Forensics are LinkChecker (Free, Open Source), Scrutiny (Paid), DRKSpiderJava (Free, Open Source) and Total Validator (Freemium).
- Xenus Link Sleuth checks Web sites for broken links. Link verification is done on "normal" links, images, frames, plug-ins, backgrounds, local image maps, style sheets, scripts and java applets.
