#services) - Option 3: Remove service links from footer if pages don't exist yet

assets/css/custom-overrides.css

+ 8 more CSS files
Recommended Fix:
HIGH PRIORITY - May break site styling
- These appear to be in backup files only (index-OLD-BOOTSTRAP-BACKUP.html)
- Clean up or remove backup HTML files
- Current index.html uses Tailwind CSS CDN (which works)

tell-projects-logo.png but links reference .webp version
Recommended Fix:
HIGH PRIORITY - Logo may not display
- Option 1: Convert PNG to WebP format for better performance

- Search and replace:
tell-projects-logo.webp→tell-projects-logo.png
2. External Link Issues
WARNING
LinkedIn Profile Link Blocked (Status 999)
https://linkedin.com/in/ellie-meisel
Explanation:
LinkedIn returns status 999 to prevent automated scraping. This is normal and the link likely works in browsers.
LOW PRIORITY - No action needed
WARNING
Google Services Blocked (Status 429/404)
https://www.google.com/search?q=tell+projects
https://g.page/r/YOUR_GOOGLE_PLACE_ID/review
https://g.page/r/YOUR_GOOGLE_PLACE_ID/review
Recommended Fix:
MEDIUM PRIORITY
- Replace placeholder
YOUR_GOOGLE_PLACE_IDwith actual Google Place ID - 429 status from Google search is rate limiting (link likely works for users)
WARNING
Font Resource Links Return 404
https://fonts.googleapis.com
https://fonts.gstatic.com
https://fonts.gstatic.com
Explanation:
These are preconnect hints without full paths. The actual font CSS links work correctly.
LOW PRIORITY - False positive, no action needed
CRITICAL
