Why do links to Medium.com articles constantly appear broken, even though they work? It’s weird. A similar thing happens to links to SSRN articles. Hi @rick111 , I hope you’re doing well. It is normal that links from external URLs block bots like the Broken Link Checker. Note that this is something that we can’t control, and we do skip certain links from sites that are known to block those bots like x.com Here is more info – https://wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/broken-link-checker/#scanned-skipped Could you please confirm if these links are from external sites? If these are returning 403 and not coming from your site, it should be safe to ignore those. I hope this helps. Best Regards, Williams Valerio Hi @rick111 We haven’t heard from you in a while, I’ll go and mark this thread as resolved. If you have any additional questions or require further help, please let us know! Best Regards Patrick Freitas
