Validation Process
Link Checking
# Check single URL
curl -sI "https://example.com" | head -1
# Check all links in file
grep -oP 'href="\K[^"]+' file.html | while read url; do
status=$(curl -sI "$url" 2>/dev/null | head -1)
echo "$url: $status"
done
Status Code Handling

| 403 | Forbidden | Note, may still work in browser |
| 404 | Not Found | Find replacement or remove |
| 5xx | Server Error | Retry later |
