False Negative on Re-Verification From URLs Pane

I don't know why this is happening. I even lowered the threads and now running on re-boot of SER, with no projects or threads running, besides the re-verify threads.

I know some of these are live that SER is flagging as dead. I check, clicking on the link.

Could it be my proxies?
Could it be I need to raise time-out value? Some of these seem slow to load.
And...are T1s that load slowly ANY issue for SEO? Apparently, they are just mostly slow servers and not up/down teeter-tottering servers, as I usually connect when trying in a browser.
Thanks to the GSA community and Sven for all the help over all these years, I am hopefully finally getting somewhere. :relieved:

    Ive seen this before too.

    Maybe I'm missing something but what "good tier 1" links do you mean that are on servers that are down and/or " teeter-tottering"?
    Thanks for detailing that and reminding me. I totally forget that I could turn off proxies for Verification. :|
    I actually had that off for a few years, only put back on again recently. But yeah, good test sequence. that will def help. :smile:

    As for what I meant...hmm...I wasn't very clear...lol...OK...slow-to-load T1S are okay for SEO, I am guessing. But sites that "teeter-totter" on and off, up and down, do they just get an error message when crawled by SEs and then suffer loss in that SE's SERPs? That seems like a worse scenario than just a slow load, tho I don't know how "patient" SE bots are! lol

    With proxies / without proxies testing:

    With proxies on, I am consistently getting false-negatives.
    With proxies off, this is not the case.
    I increased the time-out value, but  this change didn't affect Re-Verification results positively using proxies.
    What should I try next? More reliable proxies? On multiple passes, usually additional Re-Verifiaction passes. Does that positively indicate proxy issues?
    Should I disable proxies for Re-Verification? I'd rather use them...

    What type of proxies do you use currently? public or private ones?

    This is happening to me when I show verified, and verify in that list. I check manually and see my link there meaning it's giving false negatives. My timeout is 180sec, using 30 private proxies from buyproxies shows more failed, but with proxies disabled it still shows some failed which are in fact successful.

    Since I just realised this, it's likely I've been deleting false negatives from my tier 1 lol. When I see red I remove failed verifications.

    Did anything work for you @Deeeeeeee?
  • Yeah possibly, but the issue is, ones that are in fact dead will be getting links, wasting resources and has broken the tier structure at the start.

    I reverify my t1 every 30mins to ensure further tiers/projects aren't linking to a dead link. Hmm, it's a tricky situation!
