Check the foundations first

Confirm the correct response code, canonical, indexing directives and internal links for important pages. Read the initial HTML and test mobile navigation. Essential explanations should not depend on a broken image, animation or user interaction.

Edit around the customer question

Give each page a clear purpose and a descriptive title. Answer the main question early, then add examples, prerequisites and limitations. Use headings to organize the explanation and tables only when the reader needs to compare consistent attributes.

Publish evidence and keep it current

Link product claims to documentation and label illustrative figures. Use structured data that reflects visible content. Record meaningful editorial updates rather than changing dates automatically on every build. Revisit pages when the product or evidence changes.
