 * I started using this plugin today and is showing some 403 errors that aren’t 
   true, many 403 forbidden links are working.

 * Hi [@divvy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/divvy/)
 * I hope you are doing well, 403 indicates that the destination URL is not available
   or blocked the cURL request from the plugin.
   Is it your site? I can see the website
   is using Cloudflare which has a firewall and depending of request will block 
   it, you can check Cloudlare logs to verify the request and allow it, but in case
   it is not your site unfortunately no much can be done, our developers are already
   working on a new engine that reduce the false positives but we don’t have an 
   estimated yet.The best solution is adding this link as false positive.Best RegardsPatrick
