# SLA — shillahotels.com Gotchas

Client: **SLA** (Shilla Hotels & Resorts / 신라호텔)
Domain: shillahotels.com

---

## 1. www1 / www2 Are Dev/Stage Hosts, NOT Production

**Date discovered**: 2026-03-20
**Context**: SLA new integrated website under construction

The Shilla Hotels domain uses numbered subdomains for development environments:

| Subdomain | Purpose | Status |
|-----------|---------|--------|
| `www1.shillahotels.com` | Development | Active — deployed intermittently |
| `www2.shillahotels.com` | Staging | Active — deployed intermittently |
| `www.shillahotels.com` | Production (current) | Live |
| TBD (new integrated site) | Production (future) | **Target launch: end of June 2026** |

**Do NOT run technical SEO audits against www1 or www2** unless specifically instructed. These are pre-production environments and will have:
- No robots.txt
- No XML sitemap
- Incomplete meta tags
- Missing canonical/hreflang tags

These are expected states for dev/stage, not audit findings.

### When to Scan

The client will notify when www1/www2 need technical SEO element checks. Do NOT proactively audit these subdomains.

## 2. No robots.txt or Sitemap on Dev/Stage Hosts

**Date discovered**: 2026-03-20

robots.txt and sitemap.xml are intentionally not deployed to www1 and www2. This is expected for pre-production environments. Do NOT flag as issues.

Wait for client instruction before scanning technical SEO elements on these hosts.
