    Hi,

    The site I’m working on got hacked and so I’m cleaning up a bunch of stuff and am using your awesome plugin to help me along. There’s a persistent 403 error that shows up on the page in question but when I look at the url and compare it to the live url on a browser tab showing a real! live! website that’s not broken? It looks identical. And the link itself delivers me to the People magazine page. Is this something to ignore or am I missing something?

    Thanks in advance!

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi @beatty67

    I hope you are doing well.

    I did a look at the link from the page and it is indeed getting a 403 when we make a cURL request to the link, same method that the Broken Link Checker will use:

    $ curl -IL https://pa+++.com/442927/jerylbrunner/spotlight-co-star-neal-huff-why-didnt-the-church-treat-abusers-as-criminals/
HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
Date: Sun, 12 Dec 2021 16:23:10 GMT
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Connection: close
CF-Chl-Bypass: 1

    It mean that site is not accepting the request, but as we can confirm it works for regular users you can ignore the reported URL.

    Best Regards
    Patrick Freitas
