I spent two weeks fixing production bugs. Some bugs blocked my sitemaps. Others were race conditions. Now I run three fast checks after every build.

You do not need a full test suite. You need checks for your specific failure modes.

• Sitemap Verification I check if sitemap-index.xml returns a 200 status. I also verify the URL count in sitemap-0.xml. Low counts mean my data pipeline broke.

• IndexNow Submissions I run a script to send URLs to search engines. I check for 403 errors. These errors show if my verification keys are wrong. I do this after the build finishes so the URLs are live.

• Weekly Lighthouse Reports I run this on a timer. I check performance and layout shifts. I do not block deploys with these scores. I use them to spot trends.

I skip uptime monitors. Cloudflare handles the infrastructure. I skip API checks. My site uses static HTML.

These three steps cover my risk.
