Website proofreading guides
Practical guides for proofreading a live website — what to look for, the kinds of error that recur, how to find them across every page (including launches, migrations, and JavaScript-rendered sites), how a live-site pass differs from a writing assistant, and where the copy pass ends and the rest of launch QA begins.

Guides
- How to find leftover placeholder text on your live website Lorem ipsum, "your text here", and theme defaults that ship by accident — what counts, why it happens, and how to find every instance across a whole site.
- Pre-launch website proofreading checklist The copy pass to run before a site goes live — scoped to the six kinds of writing error, with the non-copy checks flagged to run separately.
- Website launch & migration copy QA checklist Launches and CMS migrations re-template content and let placeholder and copy errors creep in — the copy QA pass for a rebuild, with the structural launch checks flagged to run separately.
- How to proofread a JavaScript-rendered (SPA) website On a React, Vue, or Svelte app the copy is built by JavaScript after load, so static checkers miss it — how to proofread the rendered page instead.
- Proofreading vs. Grammarly for a live website Grammarly checks the draft you are writing; proofreading a live site checks the copy already published — different stage, different surface, and when you need each.
- The most common website copy errors (and how to catch them) The recurring copy mistakes that reach live sites, organized by the six kinds — typos and homophones, grammar, punctuation, clarity, style, and placeholder — with examples of each.
