𝐅𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐢𝐩: Always dispose of your controllers. I see this mistake in 80% of codebases I inherit.

Memory leaks = app crashes = angry users.

Having a great WordPress site means nothing if nobody finds it on Google. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝟱 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗘𝗢 𝗯𝗹𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀:

Leaving default permalinks as plain IDs.

Ignoring Image Alt Tags and compression.

Missing XML Sitemaps in Google Search Console.

Having multiple H1 tags per page.

Not setting canonical URLs.

Good list. I'd add a 6th: the "Discourage search engines from indexing this site" box under Settings → Reading. It often stays ticked after a staging launch and adds noindex to every page. Small note on #4: multiple H1s aren't a problem on their own for Google; a clear heading structure matters more.
