The wistful lyrics of “Time in a Bottle”, a 1973 folk rock song by the late Jim Croce, seem an appropriate preamble to some playful needling in today’s post.
The first thing that I’d like to do
Is to save every day
Till eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you
If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I’d save every day like a treasure,,,”

Link rot is the phenomenon of hyperlinks tending over time to cease to point to their originally targeted file, web page, or server due to that resource being relocated to a new address or becoming permanently unavailable. Also known as Links to nowhere or link death. See What Is Link Rot And How Does It Affect You? | EvolveDash
It’s a good business practice to regularly review a website to assure information is current and prune dead links for a better consumer experience.
