Most launch issues happen due to missed basics. A repeatable checklist removes surprises.
Pre-launch checks
- Correct branch and deploy path
- SSL active and HTTPS redirect working
- No nested public directory issue
- Static assets loading from correct relative paths
- Form and CTA links tested on mobile
Post-launch checks
- Hard refresh and cache validation
- 404/500 error scan for key pages
- Search Console setup and sitemap submission
Once this process is standardized, deployments become routine instead of stressful.
