replace replaces only the first instance. You need to use regular expression to replace all.

var fs = require('fs');

fs.readFile(__dirname + '/index.html', 'utf8', function(err, html){
 if(!err){
    var replaceLink = "https://mysite1.github.io/";
    var regex = new RegExp(replaceLink, "g");
    html = html.replace(regex, "https://example.com/");
    console.log(html);
 }
 else{console.log(err);}

});
