 * I’m online more than 8000 references, but for 14 hours of continuing testing.
   On average, one link is checked about 5-6 seconds, which is extremely slow. Is
   it possible to increase the speed of the scan?

 * Have same problem. Usually when starting new site, I have 10 000+ broken links
   which I want to find rapidly. Tried to change settings in admin and inside code,
   but nothing helped.
 * Please tell us what we need to change to make script work continuously without
   pausing?
 * Thank you very much for such a great solution!
