Check If Your Website Is Quietly Doing Internet Crimes

A friend's store had quietly split itself into two slightly different versions, depending on how you landed on it. Nobody noticed for months.

Most creators have no clean way to catch that kind of thing without opening 47 tabs. So here's the check.

Use it when customers report weird inconsistent behaviour, products appear and disappear depending on the link, or something just feels off but nothing looks obviously broken.

Paste this into ChatGPT or Claude

Act like an experienced website QA tester and small-business operator.

Check my website for operational drift, customer confusion and inconsistent behaviour.

My website is:
[PASTE YOUR WEBSITE]

Specifically check:
- do www and non-www versions behave differently
- missing or inconsistent products
- broken collections
- weird navigation behaviour
- inconsistent policies or messaging
- anything outdated, broken or contradictory

Then for each thing tell me: what it is, why it matters in plain language, the likely customer impact, and the easiest fix first.

While you're in there — the technical hygiene three

These three are quiet but they decide whether Google can find you at all. Worth a look in the same pass:

• Sitemap — search engines need a findable map of your store (usually at /sitemap.xml, listed in robots.txt). No map = new products get found slowly.
• Indexing — make sure nothing is accidentally telling Google not to index you (a blanket Disallow: / or a stray noindex). It's the worst-case SEO state and it's almost always an accident.
• Canonical tags — these stop duplicate URLs (filters, variants) competing against each other for the same ranking.

If those words mean nothing, that's fine — it's exactly the kind of quiet technical thing worth having checked.
