When searching for information on the Internet, the user often comes across sites whose subject matter is difficult to determine at first glance. How to understand if it is possible to find the information you are interested in on this site?
Necessary
- - access to the Internet;
- - browser.
Instructions
Step 1
One of the ways to determine the topic of the site is to look at the tags in the code of the page and, they are located at the beginning of the page immediately after the tag. The first is a description of the site for a search engine, the second contains keywords.
Step 2
To view the contents of these tags, open the page's source code. To do this, select "View" - "View html-code" in the browser. These menu bars may differ slightly from browser to browser, but you can easily find them. It should be remembered that today the owners of many sites no longer fill in the indicated tags. However, very often this information is still present.
Step 3
If the above tags are missing, see if there is a sitemap in the menu. When you open it, you can see a list of the main sections and topics. If there is no sitemap, use special network services - for example, this: defec.ru/scaner/ Enter the address of the site you are interested in in the field, just below the security code and click the SCAN button. In the report that appears, you will see a detailed sitemap. In the scanner settings, you can set the necessary search parameters, including scanning of files and folders that are prohibited from indexing.
Step 4
Use special programs to determine the structure and topics of the site - for example, Semonitor. This is a powerful software package that allows you to collect very detailed information about the site. You can download this program on the website of its manufacturer: semonitor.ru. To view the sitemap, you will need one of the modules of this program - Site Analyzer. Select it, run it. Enter the address of the site you are interested in and click the "Analyze" button. You will receive a completely complete sitemap.
Step 5
There are also simpler, but no less high-quality utilities. For example, the SiteScaner program, which exists both in the console version and with a gui interface. She is able to make a very high-quality analysis of the structure of the site, with its help you can easily see the names of all sections and pages of the resource you are interested in.
