of external links. From a Linux machine terminal with the cURL
utility installed, try:<br></p>
<pre>
<code>curl -i -I <url></code>
</pre>
<p>and make sure you get 200 OK response code.</p>
<p>Are you definitely getting a link check timeout? If so, also try
upping the "External Link Check Timeout" <a href=

<p>It was the timeout. 1s just wasn't enough for a lot of the pages

<p>Upped to 10s and works fine.</p>
<p>I just felt my inner-sense of awesomeness drop by 1.</p>
