Production Governance

Production Deployment Checklist

Separates local checks from Cloudflare Pages production URL checks so localhost success is not mistaken for launch readiness.

Locally verifiable

Data structure, internal links, SEO, accessibility, safety boundaries, visuals, and static file sizes can be verified locally.

Must retest on production URL

Cloudflare Pages response headers, CSP truncation, OG images, sitemaps, data fetches, search, and mobile navigation must be checked on the production URL.

Deployment risks

_headers keeps a short CSP; scripts are externalized; large data files are split into index, guides, rights, visuals, and lite/full search indexes.

Cloudflare Pages checklist

  1. Console no red errors
  2. data JSON fetch OK
  3. OG image reachable
  4. sitemap.xml reachable
  5. _headers active and CSP not truncated
  6. search loads lite/full indexes correctly
  7. reader page loads source entries
  8. mobile navigation works
