Check that a healthy link report describes the live website
An automated audit reports healthy links because it resolves relative routes against a preview website domain. The production release may contain different…
Check that a page's preferred address actually works
The page declares a preferred address that no longer exists. A syntactically valid preferred-address setting has concealed a broken destination.
Check that saved contact details go into the right boxes
Saved browser information can speed up a contact form, but incorrect field identification can place a telephone number in a reference box or overwrite a…
Check that search engines can reach the published sitemap

Check the page visitors actually reach before diagnosing search

Check the public delivery of a rollback, not only its source
The original deployment is restored, yet some visitors continue receiving the faulty response from a cache layer.
Check the team and website are ready before a service launch
A new service page is ready, but the enquiry team has not received its routing instructions and the booking destination is still a test link. A service…
Check time zones before treating daily totals as missing activity
Two systems assign the same test occurrence to different calendar days because their reporting time zones differ.
Check tracking on deeper guides as well as the homepage
The homepage records activity, but deeper guides cannot load a measurement script referenced with an incorrect relative path.

Two vendors both mention FHIR but have not confirmed that their implementations support the same exchange. Two suppliers naming the same standard still need…
Check website enquiries actually reach your team
The contact page reports success after saving a form locally, but the CRM connection fails before creating the task. The website can receive an enquiry even…
Check whether search growth reaches your intended service area
A rise in overseas impressions masks a decline among the practice's intended local audience. The intended service area should guide interpretation of…
Check whether similar practice listings are really duplicates
Staff find two similar map records and cannot tell whether they are duplicates or distinct operating organisations.
