Building a blog & cms with Netlify? Let us review it.
Expert code review for blog & cms apps built with Netlify. We fix Netlify-specific security gaps, optimize performance, and handle deployment. From $19.
Common Netlify issues we find
Real problems from Netlify codebases we've reviewed.
Missing redirect rules for SPAs
Single-page apps without a _redirects file or netlify.toml rewrite rules, causing 404 errors when users navigate directly to routes.
Environment variable misconfiguration
Build-time vs runtime environment variable confusion, or sensitive keys set in the wrong context (deploy previews, branch deploys).
Serverless function cold starts
Netlify Functions with large dependencies or no connection pooling, causing timeout errors on the first invocation after idle periods.
Missing build optimization
No caching configured for node_modules or build artifacts, causing unnecessarily long build times and deployment delays.
Blog & CMS challenges to solve
Key blog & cms concerns that AI-generated code often misses.
SEO and metadata management
Every blog post needs unique meta titles, descriptions, Open Graph images, canonical URLs, and structured data for rich search results. AI tools render the post content but skip the metadata layer that determines whether anyone finds it through Google.
Content editing workflow
Writers need drafts, previews, scheduled publishing, and revision history. AI-generated CMS platforms usually offer a basic text input and a publish button — no draft states, no content scheduling, and no way to revert a bad edit.
Image and media handling
Blog images need to be resized, compressed, served in modern formats (WebP/AVIF), and lazy-loaded. AI tools embed full-resolution images directly, which tanks page speed and eats storage. You need an image pipeline, not just an upload button.
Role-based access for authors and editors
Multi-author blogs need permission tiers — authors write, editors approve, admins manage settings. AI-generated auth is all-or-nothing: you're either logged in with full access or you're a reader. Server-side authorization for content operations is almost always missing.
What we check
Key areas we review for Netlify blog & cms projects.
SEO — meta tags, Open Graph, structured data, canonical URLs, sitemap
Page speed — image optimization, static generation, caching strategy
Content workflow — draft/publish states, scheduled publishing, revision history
Authorization — author vs editor vs admin permissions enforced server-side
