Pre-launch Checklists

Some helpful things to check before launching your website.

Use some CSS to find empty, open in a new tab, and stage websites.

Use the export plugin to get an inventory of your webpages, posts, and other content types.

Use Export All URLs to find duplicate (-2) webpages.

Use Google Analytics to monitor missing webpages (Page not Found) and search terms.
