Scraping in order to crawl a website pages

Your eValid tool can "scrape" an entire website...by just crawling around the pages, right?

How does that work in practice?

Thanks

Thanks for asking about that, JFinney.

Yes, in principle, that's correct.

The "crawling" that eValid does is based on the contents of the current page, as viewed from the perspective of a user who might click on a linked page.

It is not fast, nor is it efficient, nor is it elegant, but it is thorough.

Here a page that outlines the capabilities you have available, assuming you are trying to scan a website searching for something -- which is the most common thing to do.:
