What does the Broken Link Checker scan?

It crawls the submitted page, extracts links, checks their HTTP responses, and separates confirmed broken links from URLs that could not be verified because of access restrictions.

Why can a working URL appear as not verifiable?

Some sites return minimal content, rate-limit requests, or use bot protection. CrawlBeacon treats those URLs as not verified instead of counting them as broken.
