Claude/track broken affiliate links e cb uy - #181

Two issues caused the AJAX request to fail silently: 1. No time limit extension — checking up to 50 links sequentially with 15s HTTP timeouts easily exceeds PHP's default 30s max_execution_time. Added set_time_limit(300) in the AJAX handler. 2. Redundant second HTTP request per link — get_effective_url() always fell through to a probe request because wp_remote_head() follows redirects transparently (no Location header in final response). Now reads the effective URL directly from the WP_HTTP_Requests_Response transport object, eliminating ~50 unnecessary outbound requests. https://claude.ai/code/session_01Gh8fJc8PBbaxd55cC7TR2N
Affiliate networks like CJ (jdoqocy.com) only redirect GET requests, not HEAD. wp_remote_head returned 200 from the tracking domain itself, so the redirect-to-homepage detection never triggered. Switched to wp_remote_get with limit_response_size of 4KB to follow the real redirect chain without downloading full pages. https://claude.ai/code/session_01Gh8fJc8PBbaxd55cC7TR2N
