- For websites that we create and manage: to watch for emerging problems like newly broken external links.
- For websites of new clients and prospective new clients: to analyze site structure for the sake of identifying defects and planning to repair them, as well as to detect internal and external 404s (broken links) for the sake of fixing or removing them.
