False Positive Broken Links

Closed

Hi!

I'm receiving numerous false positive broken links in Actor's Output. Some links point to old pages with redirects, but some links are still valid.

Redirect Link: http://pearsonvue.com/tx/insurance => https://home.pearsonvue.com/tx/insurance

Valid Link: https://home.pearsonvue.com/getattachment/eae6fc22-4cd8-4a19-b98d-5a3e40d691ae/Texas%20Insurance%20Supplement%20Examination%20Content%20Outlines.aspx

I'd like to know what could be causing this and if there's a setting I might be missing in my build.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi!

I'm following up to see if anyone saw my previous message about what appear to be false positive broken links in the Broken Links Checker output.

Thanks again for your time!

Sounds great! Thanks for the update!

Hi Michael,

We significantly updated the actor to use proxies properly, wait for the full page loads and retry more often. Now it should give more stable results but there will always be some edge case URLs.

Thank you
