Hi @almendron
I hope you are doing well.
I checked the shared link and got a 200 status in the plugin.

Broken Link Checker ping the website using your server IP, it is possible the NY time service is blocking this request.
You can mark the links as false positive and increase the “Check each link” in WordPress > Settings > Link Checker to prevent a website firewall to block future requests.
Let us know if you have any additional question.

Hi @almendron
Thank you for the update.
All the URLs from NY are getting the same result in the plugin or some does get 200 status?
Best Regards
Patrick Freitas
Hi @almendron
Could you please send me an email to contact@wpmudev.org using this template:
Subject: “Attn: Patrick Freitas”
Message: link back to this thread for reference https://wordpress.org/support/topic/errors-with-certain-websites
Best Regards

The error has disappeared.
How? Do not know
Maybe a temporary NYT server error
Best Regards

Hi @almendron
Thank you for the update.
It could be any specific head block from the NYT, the BLC does set some conditional headers and if the server block it could not block the entire IP but only the specific header, however, as we tested on our site using the plugin and got the 200 status it is hard to tell what happened.
Best Regards
