I have the same issue... 503 error detected, but the link is not broken.

How about an option to ignore 503s?

Over a year later and I am having huge lists of amazon broken links on every one of my websites every.single.day. Is this still not fixed then?

[BajaBarry]

I made a change to line 120 of modules/checkers/http.php
$good_code = ( ( $http_code >= 200 ) && ( $http_code < 400 ) ) || ( 401 === $http_code ) || (503 === $http_code);
return ! $good_code;

And had to re-do it after the latest plugin update.

they handed the original plugin over to another team. i can't commit to setting up pull requests here but if anyone adds them from the main branch i will pull.

Nevermind. I found a post that said to exclude Amazon links from the checker.

@sunflowermom it would be helpful to me and others if you shared the link to the fix.

But it is a temporary fix. Hopefully, they will eventually solve the actual problem.
