Site Analysis Reports
The standard reports generated by the eValid Site Analysis feature include the reports described below. You can set up a site analysis scan by choosing values and settings with the Site Analysis Preferences. You can determine the parameters for reports you generate with the built-in Site Analysis Filters.

• Top of Consolidated Report Selection

  • Status Report
    This report is updated continuously as the Site Analysis scan is being constructed with an on-screen eValid Site Analysis Update report. It has metrics that indicate the amount of search work completed and the amount remaining. This report is shown even when the eValid Site Analysis engine is running in the background.

  • End of Analysis Reports
    Each of these reports can be generated to show or not show URLs that were visited, as indicated on the Site Analysis Complete selection popup. See the Report Key for an explanation of the symbols used in on this report.

    • Complete List Report
      This report is a record of all of the pages analyzed and the links visited. See the Report Key for an explanation of the symbols used in on this report.

    • Complete Map Report
      This report is a list of the pages visited and for each page the set of child links that page has. See the Report Key for an explanation of the symbols used in on this report.

    • Unique List Report
      This report is a list of the pages visited, with duplicates removed. See the Report Key for an explanation of the symbols used in on this report.

    • Unique Map Report
      This report is a list of the pages visited and for each page the set of child links that page has, with duplicate pages removed. See the Report Key for an explanation of the symbols used in on this report.

    • Page Links Report
      This report shows, for each page visited, all of the child pages of each page. The two-column report can be sorted up/down on either column. Use this report to find the parents of a particular page. Note: This report contains one line for every link found during the scan so if you select it it may take your machine some time to generate the file.

    • Complete Data Report
      This report shows complete details of every page visited, in the order of visitation, in a convenient table format. There is a complete explanation available. Example Report.

    • 3D-SiteMap
      This special eValid report shows the relationships between all of the URLs mapped in a convenient display. For complete details see the 3D-SiteMap Summary and User Manual.

• Left Hand Site of Consolidated Report Form

  • OffSite Report
    Creates a list of pages that are "off site" relative to the URL on which the Site Analysis search is based. Example Report.

  • Excluded Report
    Generates a list of pages that were excluded from the scan, as the result of interaction with the strings stored in the Exclude URLs File (if used).

  • Visited Report
    Generates a list of pages that were actually visited by this scan, in the order of visitation.

  • Broken Report
    Generates a list of links that are broken or unavailable and, when known, indicates the kind of error that caused the problem (e.g. 404 error, etc.). Example Report A list of possible Server Error Codes explains in most cases why a page was missing.

  • OOPs Report
    Using the OOPs Page String specified in the settings, this report shows all URLs which match the given string in the OOPS Page String in the Visible Text of the page. (Websites that use OOPS pages that return a "success" error code are listed here.)

  • Slow Pages Report
    Generates a list of pages that load slower than the specified time limit. Pages are sorted in reverse order of download time. Example Report.

  • Old Pages Report
    Generates a list of pages that are older than the specified age limit. Example Report

  • Size Report
    Generates a list of pages that exceed a specified byte-count size. Pages are sorted in reverse order of size. Example Report.

  • Metrics Report
    This report shows complete metrics for each page visited, as described in the Metrics description.

  • Metrics Summary Report
    This report summarize the page metrics as described in the Metrics description.

  • Strings Report
    In this case, the eValid Site Analysis engine identifies pages that satisfy a search criteria that you specify, e.g. that the page has a particular pattern or string on the page. Example Report.

Result Variations
Slightly different methods are used for the three Site Analysis modes, and the results generated may differ slightly depending on how the analyzed WebSite is constructed. Here is a brief description of the differences:

• Browser Mode. This mode uses the pages as finally delivered and rendered by the eValid browser, so these pages have already been pre-processed by eValid. This is the always the most accurate mode.
• HTTP Normal Mode. The pages are analyzed without having been rendered, and each file is analyzed separately. There can be links and URLs mentioned in this "raw data" that won't show up in the final rendered pages. Reports in this mode always include everything that is shown in the Browser Mode, but possibly will show more links.
• Quick Mode. Same as in the HTTP Normal Mode, except that Reports in this mode always include everything that is shown in the Browser Mode, and possibly will show more links. However, in Quick Mode the Site Analysis process only parses pages if it has to. For example, in a depth-limited search the Site Analysis process only checks the availability of pages that exceed the specified depth, and does not parse them.
