Abstract

Systems, methods and computer program products for identifying files from among a plurality of hierarchically-related files within a web site, wherein each of the identified files has one or more characteristics that can hinder display thereof via a hand-held computing device. Operations include selecting a file from among the plurality of hierarchically-related files. The selected file and files hierarchically-related to the selected file are then analyzed via a web crawler configured to identify characteristics that can hinder display of a respective file within a display of a hand-held computing device. A directed graph representation of the plurality of hierarchically-related files can be displayed that identifies each file having a characteristic that can hinder display thereof via a hand-held computing device.
