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
