Publish gate
A publish gate is a check that refuses to let a page go live while something on it is broken.
Why it matters
The failure that costs most is the one you find after it is indexed. Structured data that does not validate, or a phrase your brand has banned, is far cheaper to catch before publishing than after.
What it looks like
A practice pushing a page to WordPress is stopped while its structured data is invalid, rather than discovering it in a search console report weeks later.
In PulseLogic
The push is refused while structured data is invalid or a serious issue is unresolved. You cannot accidentally ship broken schema.
