[Feature Request] Validate Profile Links and Auto-Remove Inactive Users

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
While using devFind, I noticed that some developer profiles have links that are inaccessible or broken, making it impossible to contact these users. This affects the user experience and the usefulness of the platform.

Describe the solution you'd like
I suggest adding a feature to automatically validate the profile links (such as portfolio or social media URLs) when a new profile is added or when users try to view a profile. If a link is found to be invalid or unreachable, the system should notify the user before they attempt to contact that developer. Additionally, the system could periodically check and automatically remove profiles with invalid or dead links to keep the directory up to date.

Describe alternatives you've considered

  • Only display a warning when a user clicks on a broken link, without auto-removal.
  • Allow admins to manually review and remove invalid profiles.

Additional context
This feature would improve the quality of the platform by ensuring all listed developers are reachable, and would save users time by avoiding dead ends.
