Plugin marks valid links as broken

Hi there @mark8181

The clues to these issues are in the logged errors, for example:

This link was broken for 56 seconds.
Log: error: 14077410: SSL routines: SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO: sslv3 alert handshake failure [Error # 35]

They each appear to be temporary errors, in the above case for 56 seconds, likely caused by an issue with the SSL certificate.

The HTTP code: 0 also points to a network error. Although it can be very difficult to pinpoint what that error is just by that “0”, I would wager it is indeed related to SSL as that is what is logged for each of your examples.

I had hoped to run a deep check on your SSL cert, but my favorite tool for such tests is currently offline for maintenance it would seem: https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/

So, as these broken link issues do appear to be intermittent temporary things, and do appear related to SSL, I’d suggest checking that test site a little later and run a test on your root URLs:
https://www.liveinlondon.uk/
https://www.vivirenlondres.co/

Cheers!

I am having the same issues with my site. I can’t really seem to understand why the plugin is reporting totally working, active links as 404 – Not found. And no matter how many times I recheck them, they stay 404.

Some of the example URLs:
1) https://www.coaching-place.com/contact/
2) https://www.coaching-place.com/coaches/matey-illiesu/
3) https://www.coaching-place.com/study-efficiently-addition/

As you can see these links are totally alright. Even if checked from third party sources but the plugin reports them as broken every time with a 404. The links are properly indexed on Google too. This actually led me to deactivate the plugin altogether for now.

Please advise what’s the matter?

Hello @mark8181 ,

We haven’t heard from you for several weeks now, so it looks like you no longer need our assistance.

Please feel free to re-open this ticket if needed.

Hello and sorry for the late.

I had the SSL already tested by my hosting and all the results were good.

I used your plugin to test it and it game me mark A.

I do not see then any problem in the SSL.

What else could I have to check?

thank you again,
Marco
