Pre-Flight Checklist Before You Ship a Product

Before launch, confirm your fundamentals: favicon, metadata, social preview image, and a functional 404 page.

These seem small, but they shape first impressions and trust immediately.

Every CTA should resolve to a real destination. Dead checkout paths and missing legal pages are conversion killers.

Revenue systems should be tested in the same detail as your core product flow.

Core user journeys should be tested in realistic conditions: incognito sessions, mobile, and recovery scenarios like password reset.

If onboarding fails, everything else is irrelevant.

Shipping without instrumentation is guessing. Ensure analytics and error tracking are active before traffic ramps.

A lightweight post-launch checklist catches most avoidable production pain.
