The takeaway from this is slightly off. There aren't 107776 sites that are dead, there are 107776 sites that don't run a HTTP server, or are otherwise dead.

If you try to connect via HTTP or HTTPS, then a quick run yields 91106 sites that are dead, or 9.11%

(And I ran this test on an AWS EC2 node with a fairly aggressive timeout. No doubt some % of sites play dead to AWS, or didn't respond fast enough for me)
