    Vibe-coded websites killed the internet? Maverick Intelligence is saving it.

    “Vibe-coded” websites are quietly killing the internet.

    Maverick Intelligence is fixing it.

    We’re seeing more and more production websites built entirely by vibes: Replit, Lovable, prompts, quick wins, shipped fast.

    Looks great. Feels modern. Completely broken underneath.

    We recently worked with a customer who had fully vibe-coded their production website. On the surface, everything looked fine. But when we looked deeper:

    • No sitemap.xml

    • No robots.txt

    • Pure Client Side Rendering

    • Pages not crawlable

    • Blog invisible to Google

    If you know anything about website development or SEO, you already know why this is a problem.

    Beautiful UI means nothing if search engines can’t see your site.

    This isn’t a knock on speed or modern tools , it’s a reminder that foundations still matter.

    We helped this customer fix the architecture, make the site SEO-ready, and deploy Maverick Intelligence on top. The result?

    Now they’re not just indexable — they’re identifying real people visiting their site and surfacing warm leads that would have previously gone completely under the radar.

    The future isn’t “move fast and break things.”

    It’s move fast, but don’t break the fundamentals.

    If you’re building fast and want to make sure your site actually works for growth, contact our CEO, Maverick at maverick@maverickintelligence.co
