Orphaned Page Checker

Question

Hey guys I have a large website I am trying to clean out; there are a ton of pages and quite a few of them are orphaned. (a page with no pages that link to it, IE, a page that can't be gotten to).

Is there an online service or a program that will find orphaned pages?

Not an answer, but the term you are looking for is "Orphaned" pages. That terminology may help your search. Might not too. ;) — techie007, Jan 28 '10 at 21:02
There are tools that will compare your web site against the file system and show the orphans (and lots of other data). The name of the one I once used escapes me... — Chris Nava, Jan 28 '10 at 21:43
For comparing, maybe: `wget -P reachable --mirror --page-requisites site` and `diff -qr reachable htdocs` — Tobu, Jan 28 '10 at 22:38

I used Macromedia Dreamweaver's Site Report > Check Links > Orphan Pages as well as online free service http://www.dead-links.com/ .

I also used unix grep to double check a few randomly.

If I'd seen this question when it was first posted I would have suggested the same thing – Mark Henderson Feb 02 '10 at 21:08

You didn't mention what web server you are running, but here is a link to a similar question with some answers specific to IIS:
Is there an easy way to generate a report on "dead" files in IIS?
