About this checklist
Testing a website before launching it is critical. Equally important are the steps to take during the launch process and after the site is live. To help, we've created a comprehensive Drupal launch checklist with over 50 key tasks to ensure you don't miss a step when testing your Drupal website.
What you will learn
- Six pre-launch testing categories: DevOps, security, SEO, performance, content, and miscellaneous tasks.
- Secure your site by disabling developer modules, updating software, securing admin accounts, and configuring SSL.
- Test caching, enable CSS/JS aggregation, and perform performance audits with various tools.
- Complete tasks like updating site info, time settings, error pages, and more before launch.
- Configure backend systems, backups, cron runs, emails, and proxy functionality for DevOps.
- Improve SEO with robots.txt, Google Analytics, metatags, and URL alias migration.
- Clean up content, verify menus, remove test users, and fix broken links.
- Post-launch: remove authentication, point domains, monitor load, set up analytics, track uptime, and check database size.
