Automated Website Content Remediation System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Managing nonfunctional website content, such as broken links, orphan content, and stale content, is time-consuming and laborious, as existing methods fail to efficiently detect and remediate these issues within websites.
Innovation Solution
A computer system and method that determines nonfunctional content types, displays them to users, and allows for user selection and remediation actions, using batch-mode processes and a graphical user interface to generate reports and implement user decisions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual methods are used to detect and remediate nonfunctional content, then flexibility and user control are maintained, but time consumption and labor effort increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary detection of nonfunctional content (broken links, orphan content, stale content) before remediation is needed. It automatically scans the website, identifies issues, and presents them in organized reports, allowing remediation to start immediately without manual search time.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service remediation by automatically detecting issues and presenting them through user-friendly interfaces. Users can select and remediate issues without requiring technical expertise or manual scanning, making the process accessible to all users while maintaining speed.
2Measurement precision
If comprehensive scanning of all content types is performed, then detection accuracy improves, but system complexity and processing time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the detection process into distinct categories: broken links, orphan content, and stale content. Each category is scanned and detected separately using specialized methods, then presented as distinct reports. This segmentation maintains high detection accuracy while managing system complexity through modular processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies different detection methods tailored to each content type. Broken links are detected through link validation, orphan content through reference analysis, and stale content through access pattern monitoring. This localized approach ensures maximum accuracy for each type while avoiding the complexity of a single universal detection method.
3Loss of information
If detailed reports of all nonfunctional items are generated, then completeness of information improves, but information overload and user confusion increase
Solution Approach 1:
The report is segmented into distinct sections for different nonfunctional content types (broken links, orphan content, stale content). Each section can be viewed independently, and users can select specific types to review. This maintains complete information while preventing overload by allowing selective access.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides comprehensive detection but presents information in a controlled manner. Users receive complete information about all detected issues, but the interface allows them to focus on specific types or priority levels, preventing information overload while maintaining completeness.
Data Source
AI summary
A method and system for website content remediation are provided. The website content remediation computer system includes a memory device and a processor in communication with the memory device. The website content remediation computer system is programmed to determine items of nonfunctional content within a website, display a plurality of nonfunctional content types of the determined items to a user on a graphical user interface, and receive from the user a selection input of one of the displayed nonfunctional content types. The computer system is further programmed to display a report of items of nonfunctional content of the selected nonfunctional content types, receive from the user a selection input of one of the items, and receive from the user an action command that remediates the selected item.
