When a site has hundreds of URLs, opening every page one by one may not be practical. Start by grouping URLs into page types: homepage, article, category, product, profile, forum thread, search page, and tool page. Select representative pages from each group, including recent and older examples and pages with different features. Record the sample so another person can repeat it.
Check shared elements separately from page-specific content. A broken footer can affect many URLs; an inaccurate article claim may affect only one. If a sample reveals a template problem, expand the check to other pages using that template. If the issue is isolated, repair the specific URL and avoid assuming the entire archive has the same defect. Google says a site must provide unique content and a good user experience; its readiness guidance and not-ready guide are useful anchors for public-site reviews.
Example: Test five article pages and discover the same mobile menu defect on all five. This suggests a shared template issue, so inspect the theme header once and verify it against multiple URLs after repair. Meanwhile, a single article with an outdated statistic should be corrected individually.
Use SiteReadyScore to scan a public sample and prioritize groups that deserve attention. Keep the report’s crawl limits in mind: a scan sample is not evidence that every URL was reviewed. State which pages were checked, date the check, and supplement the scan with a site inventory or Search Console data when available.
