Soft blocks

What this tests. Twenty item pages. Four answer 200 with a "verify you are human" page instead of the item. Count them as missing.

The rule. 4 of these 20 links answer 200 with a page titled Please verify you are human instead of the item. Real sites do this to scrapers they don't like, and a scraper that only checks status codes saves the block page as a record. Here it's a fixture: the same 4 pages are blocks for everyone, every time, and nothing on this site detects bots. Spot them and count them as missing.

For calibrating a detector, here's a clean page and a block page, labelled.
