AJAX“, is it a buzzword, methodology, technology or Web2.0-crapology?

It all depends on who you ask but I do think that when used properly, not excessively that a little bit of AJAX magic can do wonders.

I began thinking a little while back that I’d like to make a little tool to crawl a web page, check links, images, scripts etc. The problem with these things is that it takes time - too much time for a normal page, it would stall and die.

So, I thought it the perfect project to split up the jobs to be done and update the client as each of them are completed - I.E. a loading bar. What it does is split the requests to be done into chunks and then when the client’s side (AJAX) calls the server it processes a chunk and then updates the client again - simple.

It is by FAR not a completed tool, merely a fraction of what could be done. In reality it should check for Description tags, Author, check image ALT tags, check syntax etc.

Have a try here: Mini Page Checker

Please leave comments, suggestions, thoughts etc. if you like.

    Very nice.
    On some pages you get a 302 response and I can not see the reason why.
    Anyhow you did a great job.

    That’s really cool, and looks great (very Web2.0-crapology!)!
