What the checker treats as broken
A link is marked broken when its final answer is a client or server error, such as 404 Not Found, 410 Gone or a 5xx error, or when there is no answer at all because the domain no longer resolves, the connection is refused, the TLS certificate is invalid or the request times out.
A redirect is not broken, but every extra hop costs your visitors time. Where a link redirects, the table shows the address it finally lands on so you can link there directly.
