## Out-of-stock product pages

Passing looks like: Out-of-stock products are handled.

**Why it matters.** A product page that says "out of stock" still ranks and still gets clicks, and every one of them bounces. If the product comes back, keep the page and say when; if it is gone for good, redirect it to its replacement or category, or noindex it.

**How to fix it.**

1. Temporarily out of stock: keep the page indexable, show the expected date and a "notify me" button, and keep the Product schema's availability accurate.
2. Permanently gone: 301 to the closest product or the category (WooCommerce → Products → Trash plus a redirect rule), or set the page to noindex in your SEO plugin.
