Description

Links are reported as broken which are not broken.

Known cases:

1. sites without complete certificate chain ( intermediate (not root) certs missing), Qualys SSLLabs reports this when checking, but browsers resolve this by fetching (and storing) the intermediate certificates, so the URL seems to work fine in the browser
2. sites protected by Cloadflare (returns status code 503)

Some other sites also cause problems for unknown reasons:

  • twitter
  • linkedin
  • etc.
