One of your key features I loved learning about was being notified of broken links. From what I have seen so far, I am not sure this is working as I hoped. The only errors I think I care about are 404 errors and I figured I would be emailed when/if those occurred. This process seems more like me requesting to have the links checked and then I see a bunch of 500 and 429 errors. I haven’t been able to verify that any of these are truly an issue and I also don’t want to as I am gun shy that I will add noise to my analytics. Maybe it’s not possible to proactively measure this like I hoped. I am not sure what can be done but at the least I think some education would be helpful. I would like to know what was intended, how it works today and what is possible for the future.
Thank you.

1Hey @David_Nelson
You are right; you will be notified if any issue appears on your links.
As you said, only 404 is important to consider fixing.
The rest of the header status error codes are normal, and they do not mean your links are not accessible.
We will improve the system, either not to show any other header codes beyond 404 or to only send an alert email if our system detects a 404 error for any links.
