To cancel checking of a link, you should use the option Cancel checking (this option is displayed in the menu of a checked link at all sections, to which the link belongs).
To cancel checking of all links found in this section, you should use the option Clear the queue.
To view the results of the last check, you should use the option The last report.
To start checking, use the Check option (under the entry) or Check to process all the entries in the queue: checking process will be displayed on the screen.

Besides, the page is refreshed according to the parameter The number of intermediate results on the page while checking.
