I was wondering is anybody aware of any tool that tells you all the pages that are not being used, or tell me all the pages that have links poiting to from the site, so I know only these pages are current.


Hi,
I aplogize if I am posting thread in wrong forum. I am working on a site that has lots of pages, in 100s many of them are old page and have no links poiting to them from site.
I wanted to get rid of all old pages.

I understand what you want but I am not aware of any tools that do what you want. One way is to manually do it!
Just thought you might be interested in these guys: http://www.linktiger.com/ - Not solving your problem but may help you.
Btw, this isn't the right section to post your question.

I would suggest writing a program to loop through all the files on your server and retrieve all LINKS in documents. Only save the ones that are local URLs and then compare each file on the web server to the list of links. If the the file is not present in the array of linked-to URLs then delete it. It's not exactly that simple cause you need to make sure your code doesn't delete other things you don't want it to, but it shouldn't be too difficult to handle that. I use ASP.NET and this would be a sinch.

I've only used it once, but FreeSiteValidator.com does this and worked the time I did run it. Sorry re-reading, this only shows your deadlinks, not dead pages.
Thanks,

If you look at your site with Dreamweaver, and then attempt to delete each file seperately, it will tell you if the file is called by any others on your site.

One way that might work, is to use Dreamweaver. With all your files uploaded to your server, create a "new site" that connects to your current one (this is so you have an empty directory on your computer). On your main page, probably your index page, "Get" it from the site, and it should ask you if you want to "Get all dependent files". Click Yes, and let it run. It should download all the files that your index page links to, and each page that each of those pages link to. Any pages (and images/folders) not used in your site, should remain on the server, and you should only have the ones that your actually using in your new folder on the computer.
Hopefully that makes some sense to you.
