18 Production Steps AI Skips Between Demo and Live Site

18 Production Steps AI Skips Between Demo and Live Site

Original: The Production Checklist AI Skips: 18 Things Between a Demo and a Live Site

Short summary

A practical checklist of 18 production items consistently missing from AI-generated websites, covering SEO (prerendering, sitemaps, canonical tags, structured data), social sharing (Open Graph, Twitter cards, share images), performance (Core Web Vitals, caching headers, responsive images), and security (CSP, HTTPS redirects). The author argues these get skipped because they are invisible in screenshots and demos.

  • AI-generated sites consistently miss 18 production items across SEO, sharing, performance, and security
  • These gaps are invisible in screenshots but critical for crawlers, link previews, and caching
  • The author recommends encoding these standards as reusable pipeline skills rather than manual checklists

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.

Is this a good recommendation for you?
