Code: ERR_FAILED Did not pass pre-check filter

Hi, I installed this plugin yesterday (Version 1.2.4) and I like it. When I have it set to allow front-end scanning it keeps giving me this error: Code: ERR_FAILED Did not pass pre-check filter.

I’ve tried clearing this several times, but within a few minutes it comes back again – though not always with the same source page.

I’ve checked for hidden links but with no title to work with, it’s impossible.

(The plugin also drastically slows down my site, so I have to disable front-end scanning during peak traffic.)

The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

Hi @lklawless, can you please run a page scan on the Source page (hover over the result source and click Scan Page)? It will show all of the links that are being checked regardless of whether they are flagged as broken or not. This will narrow down the cause and we can get to the bottom of why you’re seeing that error. Please share a screenshot of the page scan. You can email it to me at [email protected] if you don’t want it to be shown here.

Regarding the plugin drastically slowing your site down, it shouldn’t make that much of an impact. I am already working on a few performance measures regardless, though, which you’ll see in the near future.

By the way, when I looked at the console on your page, I see tons of errors (likely in the hundreds) from other sources. That could easily cause conflicts and slow downs. I would suggest looking into fixing those as well.

Thanks for your quick response. I’m sending the results to your email – weirdly, all of the links say Good.

Re errors, those are from ads. If I could fix them I would, but the ad network is in charge of that.

Resolved in email. Fixed missing link issue from search results by omitting them in the future. Updates in version 1.2.4.2.

@lklawless, please update to version 1.2.5. I added an option to enable caching of good links. This might help with your performance issues. You can enable the caching in Broken Link Notifier > Settings > Length of Time to Cache Good Links by setting the value to however many seconds you want them to be cached for. For example 28800 (8 hours), 43200 (12 hours), or 86400 (24 hours). Let me know if it helps at all. 🙂

I did this last night. Traffic is very high now and the server is holding up much better, so thank you!
