I spent two weeks fixing production bugs. You should run fast checks after every deploy. These checks catch specific failures.

Check 1: Sitemap reachability

• Verify sitemap-index.xml returns a 200 status.
• Check if sitemap-0.xml has enough URLs.
• Low URL counts mean your data pipeline failed.

Check 2: Search engine indexing

• Run a script to send URLs to IndexNow.
• This notifies Bing and Yandex.
• A 403 error shows your key file is missing.
• Trigger this after your site is live.

Check 3: Performance trends

• Run Lighthouse every Monday.
• Track Performance and Layout Shift.
• Use this to monitor trends.
• Do not let it stop your deploy.

I use Astro 5 and Cloudflare Pages. Static sites do not need complex tests. These three checks cover your risks.
