- Springtime 2y agoMy favorites are ones which list the most relevant pages it can find (catching scenarios where URLs have changed but no redirect has been added) but only if the site has a functional search feature. The problem is too many search libraries on sites are anywhere from useless to completely broken, even for some household name brand sites. My go-to test is while on an existing product page to search for either some part of the product title or a snippet of bullet point feature verbatim, to see if the page I'm currently on gets returned at all. It's stunning how many sites fail this test.
- whilenot-dev 2y agoCertainly a nice touch. I'm definitely encountering more broken links lately, and it feels a bit off to always blame the client. A bit off-topic, but thinking about the costs to update a vector search engine VS retraining an LLM makes me a bit worried about hyperlinks all together.
