Problem Description

It appears that sometimes the links on our site point to sites that are "protected" by CloudFlare. When we use unbroken to check for dead links, sometimes Cloudflare will report an HTTP 520 or HTTP 521 error, causing the check to fail.

Research direction

Start with the linked GitHub Actions run 8213721063 and trace the website link-check step that invokes unbroken. Determine how intermittent Cloudflare HTTP 520/521 responses are handled; done means those responses no longer cause the PR/CI link check to fail intermittently.
