Go-Live Clearance

Launch checklist + live scanner

Website Launch Checklist

Checklists get skimmed. Accidents still ship. Paste your production URL below — we return a CLEARED / HOLD / DENIED stamp and the three fixes that matter before you promote.

Top launch-day failures we catch

These are the ones that look fine in a manual checklist and still ruin the first 48 hours.

  • Homepage still has noindex

    Staging leftovers. You launch, Google never indexes, and Product Hunt traffic finds nothing searchable.

  • robots.txt Disallow: /

    Copied from a private preview template. Every crawler is told to stay out.

  • Canonical or OG points at *.vercel.app

    Share cards and Search Console attach to the preview host — not your real domain.

  • Missing Privacy / Terms (or 404)

    Footer looks finished until someone clicks. Paid users bounce; ad reviewers flag it.

  • No analytics on day one

    You will not know if the launch email or PH upvote converted. Flying blind.

Still check by hand

Machines miss UX and business paths. Tick these yourself after the stamp is clean.

  • □Custom domain attached and HTTPS green in the browser
  • □Primary CTA works on mobile (tap targets, no overlay trap)
  • □404 page exists and links home
  • □Payment / auth smoke-tested on production, not only localhost
  • □Support email / contact path monitored
