The “Website Explorer” provides a variety of information about your website and the URIs (resources and pages) it contains:

  • URI: The address or URI (URL) of the page or resource.
  • Type: Indicates whether the URI or resource is within the website URI (Internal) or not (External).
    Please note that if you have specified a subfolder as "Website URI", all URIs on the same server but outside the subfolder will also be considered "External".
  • Status: The status code that was returned in the HTTP response header.
  • Content-Type: The content-type that was returned in the HTTP response header.
  • Size: The (file) size of the resource in bytes, if available.
  • Charset: The character set specified in the <head> section of the HTML page.
  • Depth: The link depth or the distance of the resource from the website URI.
  • Links In: The number of links or references to this resource.
  • Links Out: The number of outbound links and embedded resources on the page.
  • Checksum: The program creates a CRC checksum for every HTML page.
  • Title: The page title specified in the <title> tag.
  • Title Length: The number of characters used in the <title>.
  • Description: The <meta> description of the page content specified in the <head> section of the HTML page.
  • Description Length: The number of characters used in the description.
  • Meta Keywords: Deprecated <meta> keywords specified in the <head> section of the HTML page.
  • JSON-LD: Indicates whether the page contains internal JSON-LD (linked data).
  • Meta Redirect: Page redirect set in the <head> section of the HTML page.
  • Meta Robots: Commands for search engines or robots specified in the <head> section of the HTML page.
  • Canonical: Canonical URI of the HTML page set in the <head> section of the page.
  • Language: The default language of the HTML page specified in the <html> root element.

URI Filter

Use the toggle-buttons to select the URIs or resources shown:

 

URI Filter

 

Below each toggle button there is a narrow status indicator that shows the status of the button:

  • Green: On (Show)
  • Red: Off (Hide)
  • For "HTML only" gray and blue are used because this filter differs in function.

 

By definition, a URI is: "A Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) is a unique sequence of characters that identifies a logical or physical resource used by web technologies. ...".
In the past, the term "URL" was usually used instead of "URI", which is simply the web address of a resource or a web page.

 

The following URI Filters are available:

  • Internal: URIs (pages, images and other resources) within the website URI (internal resouces).
  • External: URIs outside the website URI (external resources).
  • Ok: URIs without error (status code: 200)
  • Redirect: Redirected URIs (status code: 3xx)
  • 4xx Error: URIs with client errors, e.g. "404 Page not found" (status code: 4xx)
  • 5xx Error: URIs with server errors, e.g. "500 internal server error" (status code: 5xx)
  • HTML only: Show HTML pages only (Enabled = Blue)
    The toggle button for "HTML only" works differently. The HTML pages (URIs with "Content-type: text/html") are always included and all other URIs are hidden when activated. This feature is particularly useful if you want to compare or examine your HTML pages.
