Netlify deploy cleared for launch?

netlify.toml headers, branch deploy vs production domain, and edge functions need the same clearance bar as Vercel — especially CSP, redirects, and SSL on custom domains.

One more link level — good for sites with a few sections. Your Free plan scans up to 25 pages per scan.

Supabase backend testing (optional)

Provide Supabase credentials to run deeper RLS and cross-tenant isolation probes. Secrets are encrypted at rest and never appear in scan reports.

Security & headers

Production deploys need baseline HTTP hardening before you share the URL.

  • Define Strict-Transport-Security and CSP in _headers or netlify.toml.

    Audit check SEC-001 · security

  • Set X-Content-Type-Options and Referrer-Policy on all paths.

    Audit check SEC-006 · security

DNS & SSL

  • Custom domain TLS valid — check Netlify DNS vs external registrar setup.

    Audit check DNS-001 · dns ssl

Performance

Core Web Vitals and load behavior under real traffic — not just localhost.

  • Run Lighthouse on production domain after Netlify CDN cache warms.

    Audit check PERF-001 · performance
