What this tells us
- A measurable slice of sitemap entries no longer resolve. Likely culprits: section moves not yet reflected in the sitemap, redirects pointing at gone destinations, or transient origin errors during the check.
- Re-run with a larger sample (
--sample 200) to confirm the rate, then patch the underlying URLs OR regenerate the sitemap from the live repo inventory.
What’s next
- Daily run via
~/Library/LaunchAgents/uk.co.dare.daily-hygiene.plist. - When yellow/red, follow up with the sitemap regen pipeline + spot-check that the regen output covers the listed bad URLs.
