Test and Analyze On-Page Links with LinkSidebar

LinkSidebar is a useful FireFox addon that allows to view, search and test hyperlinks in a web page. Let’s give it a test drive, shall we? It took me a few minutes to figure out how to actually open the sidebar after the installation. It turned out I should have used the shortcut key [Ctrl+Shift+L] or the view menu (View-> Sidebar-> Links). LinkSidebar allows the user to: See all hyperlinks in the current web page, including any hyperlinks inside frames; See the total number of hyperlinks in the current webpage. Clicking on each link in the sidebar will open the page in a new tab. You can customize the columns to show the anchor text of each link, its URL and domain: You can search a handy SEARCH option to filter on-page links by a keyword: Two handy advanced search operators are supported: You can use quotes to find the exact phrase. You can use a minus (-) sign before any word to exclude links containing that word from the results. For example, to search for all the links to youtube videos except videos of cats, type “youtube -cats” in the search box. Further on, you can select links in the list (to select many links hold CTRL and click the links you want to select) to be able to: Highlight them on the page; Test them: To summarize, the addon allows to: Search the links in the current webpage (to find / filter links by a keyword in the URL path and anchor text); Select multiple links to open in tabs or copy locations for all selected links; Test links in the webpage, filtering out unwanted links with quick and easy searches; Highlight selected link on a page.
