Navigation Pass
Test header menus, footer links, breadcrumbs, search, category pages, related links, and the 404 page. Remove empty or misleading destinations.
Technical Pass
Check HTTPS, mobile layout, response codes, noindex directives, sitemap, robots.txt, forms, page speed, images, and browser console errors.
Policy Pass
Review content rights, data disclosures, traffic sources, user-generated content, redirects, downloads, and anything that could confuse or endanger visitors.
