The Broken Links panel displays the links that were reported broken for a webpage. Each broken link will provide the error status reported for a link. Note that a 404 error is a truly broken link.

Other status codes could be an indication of something other than a real broken link. For instance, a 429 status indicates that a web server stopped allowing DubBot to access a URL check for the web domain because it throttles traffic from a single browser over a certain amount of time.

Depending on a user's role, a broken link can be ignored for a Page, Site, or Account.

If you notice an issue with a link or set of links that are not actually broken, the specific broken link or a regular expression for ignoring a set of links should be added to the Site Settings > Links panel by a user with appropriate permissions. More information on this can be found in the Exclude broken links reported by reason article.
