Systems, methods and computer program products for identifying computer file characteristics that can hinder display via hand-held computing devices

A method of identifying files from among a plurality of hierarchically-related files within a web site, wherein each of the identified files has at least one characteristic that can hinder display thereof via a hand-held computing device in communication with the web site, the method comprising the following steps that are performed in a data processing system in communication with the web site:

• selecting a file from among the plurality of hierarchically-related files;
• analyzing the selected file and files hierarchically-related to the selected file for at least one characteristic that can hinder display thereof via a hand-held computing device;
• displaying a directed graph representation of the plurality of hierarchically-related files, wherein each file having at least one characteristic that can hinder display thereof via a hand-held computing device is identified;
• identifying a file type for each respective identified file;
• displaying a uniform resource locator (URL) associated with each respective identified file;
• and
• displaying within the directed graph representation a description of how to transform an identified file so as to be displayable via a hand-held computing device.
