Question: The InSite “Link Errors” results shows entries where the URL and Referrer are both external to my website. I don’t want InSite to check other sites. What is wrong?

Answer: If you’re seeing broken links where the URL and Referrer are both external to your website it is because your website contains a link that is redirected by an external website to a broken URL. Even though the link on your website is technical not broken, your users will experience a broken link.

InSite 3.1 introduced a new result tab called “Redirected URLs”. This new tab allows you to find all the links on your website that redirect to other pages and websites. You can automatically find the broken redirect from the list of Link Errors by right clicking and selecting “Find > Referrer in Redirected URLs“.
