We have a website with lots of YouTube videos in that are embedded using links via Elementor. Would the plugin pick these up? They are not embedded directly in the page. Hi @joannacraig , I hope you’re doing well. While it’s possible to get those links, most of the external links from sources like YouTube block bots like the one from the Broken Link Checker, so it wouldn’t help, as it would return 403: forbidden. Specifically, YouTube is skipped due to it blocking the Broken Link Checker bot – https://wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/broken-link-checker/#scanned-skipped I hope this helps. Best Regards, Williams Valerio Thank you for your help
