Linkchecker has a timeout parameter that is set in seconds. The default timeout is 60 seconds.
Do we have to change that parameter and what is a valid value to set?
The logged output is expected to be smth like this ConnectTimeout: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='www.google.com', port=81)
after running linkchecker on https://www.google.com:81/ and setting timeout=20 being on result column.

I would go for a smaller timeout, maybe 5 seconds, just to keep progress

logged output looks good
