React Production-Readiness Checklist

What's inside#

• 70+ items in eight areas: structure, state and data, performance, accessibility, security, errors and observability, testing and tooling, release
• Every item marked Must (release blocker) or Should (plan it)
• A guide to where each kind of state should live
• Core Web Vitals "good" thresholds with typical fixes
• A release sign-off block

How to use it#

1. Run through it before a first launch, a major release, or when inheriting a codebase.
2. Count unchecked Must items; the goal is zero.
3. Put unchecked Should items on the plan with dates.
4. Re-run it every quarter or major release.

Limitations#

• It's framework-agnostic; follow your framework's own guidance where it differs.
• Automated checks don't catch all accessibility problems; test manually too.
• It doesn't replace a security review for apps handling sensitive data.
