Thank you.

Hi, what does the rank math plugin do? Also do you have any security plugin installed in your site that might be blocking these links?

Regards.

Hi, Rank math is an SEO tool. I do not have a security plugin.

Hi, I checked the page URL above and the youtube video plays in my browser. That means that the plugin is working on the above URL. Can you share the URL for one of the links that is blocked in your site?

Regards.

Hi,
I have sent two links for the two URLs blocked according to your inquiry, for more than a week. No answer was received could you please advise?.

Hi, unfortunately I can’t find an issue with the links you posted above. In other words, I can’t reproduce the issue in my end.

There must be something else happening in your computer, laptop or maybe the tool you are using might be producing a positive / negative reading issue.

Kind regards
