ABOUT THIS CHECKLIST
Testing a website before launching it is a critical thing to do. There are also no less important steps to make both during the launching process and later when the site is already running. We prepared the checklist with more than 50 key tasks to ensure you don't miss a step when testing your Drupal website. Additionally, you can read our article as an overview of some actions you might want to take when launching a Drupal website.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
Understand six pre-launch testing categories: DevOps, security, SEO, performance, content, and miscellaneous tasks.
Configure backend, backups, cron runs, emails, and proxy functionality during DevOps tasks.
Ensure security by disabling developer modules, updating software, securing admin accounts, and configuring SSL.
Optimize SEO through robots.txt, Google Analytics integration, metatags, and URL alias migration.
Validate caching, enable CSS/JS aggregation, and perform performance audits using various tools.
Clean up content, verify menu links, eliminate test users, and check for broken links.
Handle miscellaneous tasks like site info, time settings, error pages, etc., before launch.
Learn launch and post-launch steps: remove authentication, point domains, monitor load, set up analytics, track uptime, update scripts, and assess database size.
