Requirements:

- Process in batches of 20 links per page
- Verify updates after each batch

Error Handling:
- If Designer not connected: Report and skip static pages
- If update fails: Mark link and continue with others
- Report partial successes separately

For Link Fields:
- Direct update: fieldData[fieldName] = "new-url"
- Use data_cms_tool with action update_collection_items
- Option: update live or draft

For Rich Text Fields:
- Parse HTML content
- Find and replace <a> tags
- Preserve other HTML formatting
- Update fieldData[fieldName] with new HTML

Batch Processing:
- Process 50 items per batch
- Show progress for large collections
- Handle API rate limits gracefully

Ask user:
"Would you like to publish the changes immediately?"
- Yes: Use data_cms_tool with action publish_collection_items
- No: Leave as drafts

For static pages:
- Changes are immediate (Designer updates live)
- Warn user that static page changes are live

    Reason: Page content changed since last read (conflict)
    Action: Re-fetch the page and retry

   - Fix: Manual review needed

...

## Recommendations

- Page content extraction (fetch multiple pages)

Sequential (required):
- Link updates (one at a time to avoid conflicts)
- Publishing (one batch at a time)

❌ Error: Cannot update static pages

✅ No broken links
✅ No insecure HTTP links
✅ No unnecessary redirects

💡 Recommendation:

❌ Critical: Multiple Broken Links

Found 89 broken links across all pages.

This suggests a possible site-wide issue:
- Domain migration not configured?
- External service outage?
- Relative URL path issues?

🔍 Recommended Action:
1. Check if external services are down
2. Verify domain and SSL configuration
3. Test a few links manually
4. Contact Webflow support if needed

Shall I still proceed with individual link fixes? (yes/no)

⚠️ Mixed Content Warning

Your site uses HTTPS but has 18 HTTP links.

This creates:
- Security warnings in browsers
- SEO penalties
- Trust issues for visitors

🔧 Recommendation:
Upgrade all HTTP links to HTTPS (all 18 can be auto-fixed)

Proceed with upgrade? (yes/no)

⚠️ Redirect Chain Detected

Link: https://example.com/old
  → 301 to: https://example.com/temp
  → 301 to: https://example.com/final

Recommendation: Update directly to final URL
- Improves page load speed
- Reduces redirect overhead
- Better for SEO

Fix: Update to https://example.com/final

Apply fix? (yes/no)
