 * There are a few links that it is showing weird things for – they all work, but
   your program said something is wrong.
 * However, there were a few thinks that were broken that this program helped me
   out with and that is worth 5*, I was having a hard time trying to find where 
   my problems where.
 * Thanks!!!

 * Hi valsc
 * Thank you very much for your review. I’m glad that the Link Checker helped you
   to improve your site.
 * I’m aware of the false positives, but it is sadly very hard to reduce the number
   of false positives because many sites block small crawlers and do not respond
   in a uniform and appropriate way. Some respond with a custom status code, some
   just return a status code 404 or others return 403 (forbidden) if the crawler
   is blocked. Also some plugins like [Wordfence](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/separate-whitelist-for-rate-limiting/)
   make trouble.
 * However, improving the quality of the results is my main focus for the next months
   after I have worked mainly on usability the last few months.
 * Some weeks ago I have implemented a “Mark as fixed on all pages” button which
   is especially useful to mark false positives and get cleaner results.
 * Best regards and have a nice evening
    Marco

 * No I get that it isn’t easy, that’s why I still gave a 5* review instead of 4.
   The program helped and the little bit of annoyance having to say – no no, that
   link is right – was nothing compared to the fact you help me find links I had
   that were no longer valid (on the linked persons side).
