I am not sure, but I feel like this is rather an amalgam of existing technologies, rather than an original invention. There are sitemap generation modules which can check source code errors, trim the sitemap tree, enter pre-defined parameters, etc.

I absolutely agree with you Sangha. I don't think this patent is non-obvious. Also, there is enough javascript scripts, some even created and run by Google, that predefine indexes for these sitemap generators. The author should focus on other aspects of the websites that have not been address before. Perhaps, sophisticated security inscription would be something to focus on.

I disagree. This patent application has a vision for something entirely different than what is already out there. According to the line "the analysis system can rely at least in part on the actual downloading and rendering of each page in the website to determine not only aspects of website content and layout, but also whether various content, such as third party objects or source code, execute as intended. ", I interpreted that as rendering the page visuallly, and having a computer "view" the page as if the computer was a human. This patent application would render the actual page, and use some sort of OCR technology to do that and make sure that the page rendered correctly.

The aspect of using a computer to analyze a rendered page to see if a page renders correctly would a novel idea. The application though, should focus on how that analysis would actually work.
