I spent two weeks fixing production bugs. Avoid these issues with three fast checks after your build.

1. Sitemap Status

• Check if your sitemap-index.xml returns a 200 code.
• Verify your URL count in the sub-sitemap.
• Low counts mean your data pipeline failed.
• This finds redirect errors browsers often hide.

2. Search Indexing

• Run a script to send URLs to IndexNow.
• Notify Bing and Yandex.
• Look for 403 errors.
• This proves your verification keys are live.

3. Performance Trends

• Use Lighthouse CI once a week.
• Track your Performance, CLS, and Accessibility.
• Watch for CSS or layout regressions.
• Use this as a monitor. It does not block your builds.

Static sites do not need complex tests. These checks cover the main risks for SSG sites.
