I spent two weeks fixing bugs in production. These issues only appeared after deployment. Now I run three fast checks to stop them.

I use Astro 5 and Cloudflare Pages. Here is the workflow.

Sitemap Health

• Check if sitemap-index.xml returns a 200 status.
• Check the URL count in your sub-sitemap.
• A low count means your data pipeline failed.
• Use curl to catch redirect errors.

Search Engine Sync

• Use a script to send URLs to IndexNow.
• This updates Bing and Yandex.
• A 403 error means your key file is wrong.
• Trigger this after your build is live.

Weekly Performance

• Run a Lighthouse audit every Monday.
• Test your homepage and one deep page.
• Watch for speed drops or layout shifts.
• Track trends instead of blocking deploys.

Static sites do not need complex tests. These checks cover the real failure points.
