I've been QA-testing indie and AI-built sites this week — the same handful of things are broken on almost all of them

The same issues keep showing up — the kind that look fine but quietly cost signups or search ranking. Sharing in case it helps your own site: Forms with placeholder text instead of real labels. "Email"/"Password" shown inside the box looks labeled, but it isn't — the text vanishes when you type, and screen readers + browser autofill don't read it. Quiet signup killer. Heading levels that skip. Jumping from an H1 straight to an H3 with no H2. Invisible to the eye (it's in the markup), but it confuses screen readers and how Google reads your page. A main CTA that doesn't actually go anywhere. More common than you'd think — the button looks fine but the click loops or dead-ends. Worth literally clicking your own "Get started" and following it through. Missing title / meta description. Google then writes its own (usually worse) snippet for you, costing click-throughs. No social preview tags (Open Graph). Share your link on X or Reddit and it shows a blank, ugly preview instead of a title + image. Founders share links constantly, so this one stings. Most take 5 minutes to fix once you know they're there. Full disclosure: I built a tool that checks for this ([Sweep]( http://www.usesweep.app) ) — happy to run yours and send the report if you drop a URL below. But honestly, just checking these five by hand is worth an afternoon. submitted by /u/Hairy_Wash_9086 [link] [留言]
