Some things require manual testing. Animations and a lot of visual stuff needs to be analyzed holistically; there are sometimes visual quirks that are near impossible to write tests for but can easily be detected from someone quickly viewing the site.

Have different environments set up. After every big push, run through a simple user flow to make sure what the user will actually see is what you intended.

After every big push...

One way that I minimize my front-end testing liability is to do as few "big" pushes as I can. The safest change to make is the smallest change possible.
