Common failures

Trusting CLI success
Testing only home
Ignoring redirected sitemap URLs

Compatible modes: Agent, Ide Assistant

Audit the deployed static site at [PRODUCTION_URL]. The approved canonical host
is [EXPECTED_CANONICAL].

Do not infer success from local files or deployment output. Request the home
page, one deep content page, the 404 path, robots, sitemap, and any feed.
Record status, redirects, canonical, robots directives, content type, and key
security headers.

In a browser, exercise primary navigation, direct deep links, keyboard focus,
320px reflow, 200% zoom, copy or form behavior, and a no-JavaScript state.
Confirm sitemap URLs are canonical 200 responses and structured data matches
visible content.

Report evidence, severity, exact fixes, remaining manual checks, the deployed
artifact identifier, and a tested rollback reference. Do not claim analytics
receipt unless the live provider confirms it.

Common AI mistakes

Reject audits that test only /, treat redirects as healthy sitemap entries, or repeat configuration without inspecting public responses.

Verification checklist

Re-run every failed public request after fixes and compare the production artifact with the validated preview.
