Which HTTP responses should a broken-link checker flag automatically?

I m preparing the launch of PAH Broken Link Checker and would value practical feedback from site owners and developers.

Many scanners treat every non-200 response as broken, even when 401, 403, 429, timeouts, or firewall blocks require manual verification. This tool keeps working links, redirects, broken responses, blocked responses, and scan errors separate.

When reviewing a link-audit report, which information helps you act fastest: HTTP status, source page, link type, redirect target, or CSV export? Are there any response codes you would never classify automatically?

PAH Broken Link Checker - Audit up to 500 pages for broken links and redirects

Scan a website from its XML sitemap, check internal and external links, separate broken URLs, redirects, blocked responses and scan errors, filter the report, and export results to CSV. Free, browser-based, and no signup required.
