so V12 goes back to a V4 ish gui, can't ftp sitemaps automatically now even though it finally worked ok in V10, have been through three interface changes from V6 which was perfectly fine IMO and now this one leaves me cold, especially the one page that suddenly shows white when all others are in dark mode, so despite the excellent support and free upgrade I am just confused and disappointed in equal measure. Will try to work it out but it is now way more complicated than I need ... watch this space

Scrutiny is my go-to app for checking sites for broken links. As a website developer, it has all the options I need to fine-tune scans to avoid false positives. Seeing a "clean" report with just the truly broken links (without any "noise") is very valuable especially if you maintain a site over time.

Other features such as "Search pages", "Sitemap", "SEO" are icing on a very delicious cake!

When it comes to support, developer Sheila Dixon is top notch! She truly cares about her product and her users. She is thoughtful, professional and responsive - a real "shining star" in a sea of "dim bulbs".

Overall a great value for a truly useful, well-crafted piece of software.

$29,95 in 2011, did you make 576% more money the last 8 years? What a joke.
