Ed:
My blog is melting down on some leafe.com issues. I suspect you've updated your SSL cert recently, and it looks like some of the older http:// links aren't working or aren't redirecting.
http://dabodev.com returns an error, while the https page is working okay.
I had to update a couple of archive links to https as well.
You may want to put in a server directive, if you can, to redirect the http:// addresses to the matching https://
Or not. I'll still re-up my subscription!

My Let's Encrypt certs auto-renewed over the weekend, and somehow the https redirect was lost. I'll see about getting it corrected.
BTW, I'm almost ready to release an entirely new website. I created the current one back in the early 2000s, and it is written in what was the leading Python framework of the day. Now that Python 2 is EOL'd, and that framework doesn't support Python 3, it's time. It's also given me a chance to play around with some of the newer CSS and JS stuff out there, so that's a plus.

I've fixed up the permalinks from my side.

Excellent! Any chance the URLs remain the same? <g>.
I've been maintaining a 16-year-old blog and it is AMAZING how few links are left. I've got a great plugin that makes expired links pretty easy to manage, even suggesting a matching archive.org site when available.

I'm sure that at least 23.7% of the links out there on the interweb are dead links, for whatever reason. (Then again, 81.5% of statistics are made up on the spot, right? lol)

That’s the goal!

I have a dead link plugin for Wordpress that marks all the active, good links as broken <sigh>. What is your blog running?

Huh, that’s what I’ve been using. It finds dead links, sure, but I got so many false positives that I turned it off.

That's interesting. It may be that your WP host has a bad reputation and attempts by WP to access some web sites are being blocked by overzealous intrusion-detection software, or perhaps it's as simple as a routing error or intermittant connections.
I have several IDS modules in WP that block sketchy bots, bad/partial/misformed requests, excessive requests coming in from CN, RU, RO, etc.
I you have the time to debug, you can try terminal access from the host, curl'ing or wget'ting the URLs, to see if there's some sketchy redirection or something else. ' And sometimes you just have to use the Bulk Actions to dismiss a whole bunch of annoying reposts. GMane, for example, lost a huge portion of their mailing list archives, including a bunch of links to some of my LUG groups. I could use the bulk tools to unlink the whole lot.
