I spent two weeks fixing bugs in production. A bad redirect rule blocked my sitemap. A deploy lag broke image uploads. Now I use three fast checks.
These checks focus on real failure points. They are not a full test suite.
Check your sitemap.
- Verify sitemap-index.xml returns a 200 status.
- Check sitemap-0.xml for a minimum URL count.
- This finds hidden pipeline errors.
- It catches redirect mistakes browsers hide.
Submit URLs to search engines.
- Run a script to send URLs to IndexNow.
- This notifies Bing and Yandex.
- Watch for 403 errors.
- A 403 means your key file is missing.
- Run this manually after deploy. This ensures URLs are live.
Monitor site health.
- Run a weekly cron job.
- Check performance and accessibility.
- Look for layout shifts.
- Monitor trends.
- Do not block deploys for small score drops.
These checks work for static sites. You do not need complex tests for pre-built HTML. Focus on errors you have seen.
