Investigate Links Causing Server Errors (5xx Errors)

Link Analyzer

What is this warning?

A link on your page is pointing to a URL that is causing a server error (a '5xx' error). This means there's a problem with the server hosting the destination page, not necessarily the link itself. However, it still results in a broken experience for your users. If this is happening on your own site, it indicates a serious technical problem that needs immediate attention.
