Proposal for GSA URL Testing Tool

I think that this would be great to have. If you check its use ✅ within a project, the SER shifts the burden  of re-verification to the module and relies on saved settings for that project.  So for that project, and all checked projects, SER does no re-verifying, ever. I guess this program will have to update links two of SER's project lists, Verified and Failed_Re-Verification, as well as update last-link-check date info in SER-associated project files as well. And, I guess it needs its own per-project supplemental Reverify setting file. 

This could work with both SER and other SEO programs, as well as be fed lists or work with an API for greatest use-instance!

This could be lightweight because it's relatively simple.


The utility could be written for SER so we can have:


  • Re-verify URLs on  Verified URLs list (or on templates for popular SEO programs, or user-defined)

  • Re-check URLs on  Failed-ReVerification URLs list

  • Timetables can be set on a per-project basis.

  • Different response codes can yield different actions.

  • Certain backlinks  could be prioritized to test first based on many criteria.

  • Customizable timeouts for different link types, country codes, etc.

  • Prioritize or omit based on date range, link type, URL mask, country

  • Set very schedule for re-verify independent of check failed-re-verification scheduling.

  • Set up a third list called failed_reverification_X_timeframe for links that have remained dead for X time.

  • That can be set for a global so that all project only check their really old links very infrequently, and there are filters there as well
