I've been asked to look at a website of a very large organisation (it's only on a casual basis to maybe send a few tips to the marketing department).
Seems to me it has some big troubles. Most things kind of show up in search if you search very carefully but using a site: search the main website seems buried many pages in and a sub domain trumps it. It feels like the old days when they invented javascript and flash websites. HTML looks reasonably functional but there are a lot of country redirects going on and a lot of contact pages showing up high in the site search.
Back in the day I would have used the Lynx text browser to see what was going on, but my version doesn't support SSL. I would love a new version of Lynx which supports SSL that I could just install, but as always it looks like I'll need to compile it myself after figuring out how to compile stuff.
Can anyone recommend any other tools so I can see what Googlebot has to go through before it can see content? Not getting paid (much) for the work but I would like to make a good impression.
