10 Things to Check Before Launching Your Website

Introduction
Launching a website is an important step for any business. Before making it live, you should check its design, functionality, speed, mobile experience, SEO, and content. A proper pre-launch check can help avoid problems and provide visitors with a better experience.

Why Website Checks Are Important
A website may look perfect but still have broken links, slow pages, non-working forms, or mobile display issues. Finding these problems before launch can help prevent lost visitors and customer enquiries.

10 Things to Check Before Launch

  1. Check Every Page
    Make sure all pages are complete and contain correct information. Look for missing sections, spelling mistakes, and unfinished content.

  2. Test All Links
    Click menus, buttons, and other links to make sure they take visitors to the correct pages.

  3. Check Mobile Responsiveness
    Test your website on smartphones and tablets. Make sure text, images, menus, buttons, and forms display properly.

  4. Test Contact Forms
    Submit test enquiries through all forms and confirm that the messages reach the correct email or system.

  5. Check Website Speed
    Make sure your pages load quickly. Large images and unnecessary website elements can slow down your website.

  6. Review Your Content
    Check your company details, services, products, contact information, headings, and calls to action for accuracy.

  7. Check Images and Videos
    Make sure all images and videos load correctly and are optimized without reducing their quality.

  8. Check Basic SEO
    Review page titles, meta descriptions, headings, keywords, and image alt text before launching.

  9. Check Security and Technical Settings
    Check your website security, backups, redirects, forms, and other important technical settings.

  10. Check Analytics and Tracking
    Set up analytics and tracking so you can understand visitor behaviour and monitor website performance after launch.
