1. Review the content
Check spelling, current prices, dates, names, contact details, and legal statements. Confirm each page has one clear purpose and that temporary notes or unfinished copy are not visible.
Read important pages as a first-time visitor and follow the main task from start to finish. Confirm that instructions, prices, availability, and contact information agree across the site.
2. Test routes and actions
Click the logo, navigation, buttons, email links, and any form or external destination. Confirm that real connected services work; a visual button alone does not submit information or complete a booking.
For forms, test a real permitted submission path and confirm where the information goes. Check confirmation messages, failure states, and privacy notices; do not assume a styled button is connected.
3. Inspect layout across screens
Review pages at narrow and wide viewport sizes. Look for clipped content, difficult-to-read text, crowded controls, and images that crop away meaningful details. Check keyboard focus and text contrast as well.
Test keyboard navigation, focus visibility, zoom, contrast, and narrow screens. Ensure meaningful images have useful alternatives and decorative images do not create distracting screen-reader output.
4. Check technical essentials
Confirm HTTPS, page titles, descriptions, canonical URLs, and intended indexing rules. Verify the sitemap and Search Console property, then keep a short list of issues to revisit after launch.
After launch, inspect representative URLs in Search Console and monitor real-user page experience data. Use the accessibility checklist and image optimization guide for focused follow-up.
