Launch Checklist for Modern Websites

A comprehensive pre-launch checklist covering technical, content, and performance requirements for modern websites.

Content Verification

Every page should be reviewed for spelling, grammar, accuracy, and completeness. Check that all placeholder content has been replaced, all links work, and all forms submit correctly.

Technical Testing

Test across browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge) and devices (desktop, tablet, mobile). Verify responsive breakpoints, check form submissions, test all interactive elements, and confirm analytics tracking is active.

Performance Optimization

Compress and properly size all images. Enable caching, minify CSS and JavaScript, and verify Core Web Vitals scores. Target sub-3-second load times on mobile connections.

SEO Fundamentals

Confirm meta titles and descriptions are set for every page. Verify the sitemap is generated, robots.txt is configured correctly, and structured data is implemented where appropriate.

Security and Compliance

Ensure SSL is active, forms are protected against spam, privacy policy and terms are published, and cookie consent is implemented where required by regulation.
