Static Site Launch Checklist
A static site can be simple to host, but launch mistakes are common: the homepage works while subroutes 404, CSS points to the wrong folder, or HTTP never redirects to HTTPS. Use this checklist before publishing.
Build output
Run the production build, inspect dist/index.html, and confirm robots.txt and sitemap.xml match the final public URL.
Server checks
Validate Nginx syntax, reload safely, and test representative URLs before considering the launch complete.
Smoke test URLs
Open the homepage, important content pages, disclosure page, and one direct subroute in a fresh browser tab.
