 * My dashboard has a box that says “Detected 446 unique URLs in 592 links.” What
   exactly are “unique URLS” and what about the other 146 links? Where those not
   checked?

 * Hi! Thanks for writing.
 * I’m curious too, what does that mean?
 * From the sound of it, it sounds like it is an informational message and it doesn’t
   sound like any broken links were found. However if so, then I wonder why such
   a specific message and I wonder what the significance of the message is.
 * I’m digging a little bit to look for a definition. Here’s what I’ve found:
 * unique URLs is “…the number of detected unique URLs…”
 * ,and
 * links are “…the number of detected link instances, i.e. actual link elements 
   in posts and other places. …”

   think?
