Liked the favicon part, very often forgotten... Would be nice if this was open sourced so more items could have been added by the community (also framework specific checklists) but I like the concept One thing I would add which is driving me crazy on mobile / tablet sign up pages - make sure your email fields are annotated with type="email" Another common issue is with SSL mixed content waring, so I would also add -…

It is open source, but I can't seem to find a license on that page, so it may not be free software. I would be reluctant to modify and redistribute copies of it.

No clean URLs? How about setting up automated backups?

Clean URLs aren't really necessary and can be difficult with some frameworks. Automated backups also aren't necessary for all sites, particularly if the entire site is in a source repository somewhere and doesn't have users.

Clean URLs are just as useful and visible as the favicon, or custom error pages, or many other "unnecessary" features.

You need to backup production sites. A repo could do that, but it's just another backup system that needs to be implemented and verified.

I see that Jakob Nielsen's venerable "Top 10 Mistakes in Web Design" checklist http://www.nngroup.com/articles/top-10-mistakes-web-design/ just got new styling the other day, as I work on updating my seventeen-year-old personal website. There are still a LOT of websites that make several of those top ten mistakes. They are higher priority than many of the other issues mentioned on the checklist kindly submitted here.…

No. 5 on that list is not valid any longer, fixed font sizes were only an issue with IE6 where fonts specified in pixels wouldn't respond to the user's font size setting.
