A process and system that allows a client/server, upon receiving a web page, to invoke a program that reads the page for all links and commences a first ping transaction for each of the links to determine if each link is available. The process and system visually indicate to the client/server an availability status of each of these links so that the client/server can predetermine the success rate with which the client/server will be able to access each of these links, thereby avoiding manually clicking on each of these links to determine a page's availability. As some servers may be unavailable due to server or network issues, the process and system continue testing for any links previously not found. This testing continues until the web page is within "n" number of pages from the web page currently being viewed, whereby the client/server may modify the "n" number of pages.
