    Hi @divvy & @peterkc1

    Broken Link Checker will do a cURL request using a user agent and check the response header, in case the final destination return 403 we need to verify if it is a false positive and in case it is, mark it as a false positive.

    Unfortunately, we can’t control whenever the destination blocks the request, this can be caused by the destination URL blocking your site IP or the specific User Agent.

    But we have good news, we are close to releasing the new Broken Link Checker engine, we don’t have an estimated time yet but it should be as soon as we finish all tests.

    Best Regards
