Link health

Every entry in Genuinely Free promises a real, working official source. This sweep checks all 167 outbound links for 404s, timeouts and redirects onto unrelated sites. Only genuine 404s and unreachable hosts show a note to users — sites that block automated checks (403/401/405) are listed separately below and are almost always fine.

Weekly check is due
