I would like to check several properties of the graph behind a website I own. The properties I'm interested in are: diameter, shortest path from index page, min/max/average degree of vertices, and other properties that do not require solving a NP-complete problem. I'm also interested in tags that are not links, in order to check the programming style. This is a Wordpress site, but I would like something generic. I've tried Gephi, but the UI is not very good and I didn't find plugins to import or generate that kind of data. It should run under Linux or Mac OS X; I'm not looking for an online application.

In what format is the data available? Do you have to interpret the graph, or do you have access to its raw data? Can you post a sample? – David Vandenbos Apr 27 '12 at 17:29
The graph must be build from the HTML pages. What do you mean by interpret the graph ? Basically I want to iterate through the links of the first page of a website, add one vertex for each page and one edge for each link, until no new pages found, and repeat for each vertex. Then on this graph, I will compute the properties I mentionned above. But I don't want to reinvent the wheel. – Antoine Apr 27 '12 at 21:30
Sorry, I misunderstood the question intially, so my follow-up didn't make any sense. It sounds like this is beyond what I could help with. Good luck. – David Vandenbos May 1 '12 at 14:09
I have found a sample program that does a part of the job: Qt4 example 'Dom Traversal'. With a bit of work I should be able to implement what I have in mind. – Antoine May 1 '12 at 14:13
