Extension summary

Link Skimmer is designed as a QA testing tool to search through a site for errors that you specify, such as 404 or Stack Trace, or even an old term you want to remove from the site, such as Zaire or Jaiku. Link Skimmer then recursively skims through the links from the start page to report which pages have that term. To prevent the link skimmer clicking on irrelevant links, you can specify a domain or sub-domain and only links containing that name will be skimmed. Link Skimmer uses an efficient javascript Set-object algorithm to ensure the links are skimmed efficiently and not repeated. At the reporting stage, link skimmer returns all of the links that match you asked it to look for. As a useful addition it also returns all of the pages that it found that have links to those links.

Note from the developer I have some planned improvements but please report improvements you'd like or any issues that you are having.

Thanks and good testing
