Mending broken hyperlinks

That's Google Gemini's AI representation of 'me' supergluing a broken hyperlink back together.

Having copied-and-pasted content from the old website into Wix, I discovered that Wix faithfully replicates any hyperlinks in the original, but doesn't routinely underline them ... which makes them essentially invisible unless/until we mouse over them on the live website, or unless our browsers automatically underline all hyperlinks for us. Mine doesn't.

Furthermore, many of the pasted hyperlinks are broken, being static URLs from the old website with the old website structure e.g.: https://www.iso27001security.com/html/ISO27001.htm

The upshot is that I have to hunt for the hyperlinks before checking and correcting them.

Within the Wix CMS, the hyperlink button is 'lit' if there is at least one invisible hyperlink somewhere within a selected section of content, so I can systematically select a chunk, then reduce the selection to home-in on the hyperlink/s, manually underlining them ... but if the links are broken, my options for removing or replacing the URLs are very limited.

• There is no simple 'delete URL' option, and although the 'remove formatting' button does delete the URL, it also removes other formatting such as justification for the whole paragraph. Grrrr.

• When adding or editing web pages outside the CMS, Wix generally offers me a choice of URL types, including dynamic links to other pages and sections within them - which is handy as I am updating page and section names as I work through the site, tying off various loose ends. Wix appears to keep track of the changes, updating the dynamic hyperlinks automagically using some sort of persistent internal references, I guess. It also offers a 'delete URL' button. Nice. Not so within the CMS.

• Here in the blog, Wix automatically identifies and underlines URLS as I type beyond the htts:// part, giving me further options such as offering previews. Nice too, but different again.

So, it appears the CMS and blog functions for hyperlinking have been crudely stitched into Wix at some point without ensuring they are consistent with the rest of Wix, indicating an annoying little design integrity issue - in other words, I seem to have tripped over an information security concern with the Wix architecture and software development processes. Oh oh.

With something like 1,000 paragraphs to check for invisible hyperlinks, I'm looking for a more pragmatic and speedier approach such as a website link-checker utility. I guess I'd still have to correct and underline the broken and invisible links manually unless I can automate that somehow, which seems unlikely.

Bottom line, I'm aware of the issue and working on a fix. Bear with me caller ...
