## What it does

This skill scans Webflow sites to detect broken links returning 4xx or 5xx codes, insecure HTTP URLs when HTTPS is available, and 3xx redirects. It audits static components like Link, Button, and LinkBlock alongside CMS fields, computing a link health score from 0 to 100.

All operations run through Webflow MCP using `data_pages_tool` and `data_cms_tool`. You do not need the Webflow Designer open. Changes are processed in batches: 20 links at a time on static pages and 50 items for CMS entries, requiring approval before committing drafts.

Running this requires an active Webflow MCP server. Every tool call must pass a 15-to-25 word `context` parameter written in the third person. Updated CMS items remain in draft state until you explicitly request publication through the tool.

## When to use it
- audit and fix 4xx and 5xx broken links across Webflow pages
- upgrade insecure HTTP URLs to HTTPS in CMS collections
- resolve 3xx redirect chains directly to final destination URLs
- batch update static page links without opening Webflow Designer

## Example prompts
- Run a complete link check on my Webflow site and show broken URLs

# Link Checker

Audit and fix broken or insecure links across your Webflow site to improve SEO and user experience.

## Important Note

**ALWAYS use Webflow MCP tools for all operations:**
- Use Webflow MCP's `webflow_guide_tool` to get best practices before starting
- Use Webflow MCP's `data_sites_tool` with action `list_sites` to identify available sites
- Use Webflow MCP's `data_sites_tool` with action `get_site` to retrieve site details
- Use Webflow MCP's `data_pages_tool` with action `list_pages` to get all pages
- Use Webflow MCP's `data_pages_tool` with action `get_page_content` to extract links from static pages
- Use Webflow MCP's `data_pages_tool` with action `update_static_content` to fix links on static pages
- Use Webflow MCP's `data_cms_tool` with action `get_collection_list` to get all CMS collections
- Use Webflow MCP's `data_cms_tool` with action `get_collection_details` to get collection schemas
- Use Webflow MCP's `data_cms_tool` with action `list_collection_items` to get CMS items with links
- Use Webflow MCP's `data_cms_tool` with action `update_collection_items` to fix links in CMS (draft)
- Use Webflow MCP's `data_cms_tool` with action `publish_collection_items` to publish fixed CMS items
- DO NOT use any other tools or methods for Webflow operations
- All tool calls must include the required `context` parameter (15-25 words, third-person perspective)
- No Designer connection is required — both static page and CMS link fixes go through `data_` tools

## Instructions

### Phase 1: Site Selection & Discovery
1. **Get site information**: Use Webflow MCP's `data_sites_tool` with action `list_sites` to identify target site
2. **Confirm scope**: Ask user if they want to check:
   - Static pages only
   - CMS content only
   - Both static pages and CMS content
3. **List pages**: Use Webflow MCP's `data_pages_tool` with action `list_pages` to get all pages
4. **List collections**: Use Webflow MCP's `data_cms_tool` with action `get_collection_list` to get all CMS collections

### Phase 2: Link Extraction & Validation
5. **Extract links from static pages**: Use Webflow MCP's `data_pages_tool` with action `get_page_content` for each page
   - Identify all link elements (Link, Button, TextLink, LinkBlock)
   - Capture: pageId, nodeName, URL, link text
6. **Extract links from CMS**: Use Webflow MCP's `data_cms_tool` with action `list_collection_items` for each collection
   - Identify Link fields and Rich Text fields with links
