        In Moz, within your campaign you can go to Links > Top Pages, and then choose the filter "4xx".

          Hi There,

          Thanks for the help. I hadn't checked here before so thanks for pointing that out. Unfortunately it hasn't solved my problem.

          Here is an example that wasnt showing up on the 4xx link.

          Linking Page ; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nungwi

          Broken link on page : "Nungwi safaris, tailor-made vacations to Nungwi, Nungwi holidays - ATR". www.africatravelresource.com.

          How can i find these types of broken links through Moz Link Checker?

          I look forward to hearing from you

          Best Regards

          Nick

            Nick,

            I went to that wiki page, and clicked through the link. While the page does redirect to a page which contains content stating "404 Page Not Found", in actuality that page is giving a 200 response, not a 404. In order for any broken link reports to work, the page would have to actually return a 4xx response code (404, 410, etc.).

            Here is the redirect path log from the Ayima plugin:

            Status Code URL IP Page Type Redirect Type Redirect URL
            301 http://www.africatravelresource.com/africa/tanzania/c/zanzibar/nungwi/ 104.26.7.235 server_redirect permanent https://africatravelresource.com/africa/tanzania/c/zanzibar/nungwi/
            200 https://africatravelresource.com/africa/tanzania/c/zanzibar/nungwi/ 104.26.6.235 normal none none
