Why this matters
Static sites are simple to host, but they can still ship missing canonical tags, thin metadata, or broken internal links.
Setup
Check page titles, descriptions, canonical URLs, sitemap output, robots rules, and archive discoverability.
Implementation notes
Run the audit after every major template change. Template bugs usually affect many pages at once, so one bad assumption can create site-wide issues.
Final checklist
- Metadata exists on key pages
- Sitemap and RSS build correctly
- Internal links return 200
