Website launch checklist

A launch checklist that actually checks the website

Manual launch checklists are easy to skim and forget. ReleaseTraq turns the checklist into repeatable checks against the public URLs that matter before a launch, client handoff, or campaign.

What ReleaseTraq reviews

Release readiness with inspectable evidence

These pages focus on Launch Acceptance: scope review, business flow acceptance, handoff checklist, risk review, and client sign-off report evidence.

Website readiness basics

The first launch failure is often simple: wrong DNS, missing HTTPS, redirect loops, stale content, or an error page that still returns HTTP 200.

Confirm DNS resolves and the final URL is reachable
Verify HTTPS and certificate expiry before browser warnings appear
Review redirect chains and final response status
Check expected content so an error page cannot pass as a working page

Technical checks for launch day

A public launch page should be fast enough, inspectable, and not obviously missing security basics.

Track response time and launch report score
Warn on missing security headers
Record warnings separately from blockers
Attach findings to the project for later review

Before client handoff

A launch checklist is not the end of acceptance. Critical pages should become checklist evidence before the client sign-off report.

Attach homepage and conversion paths to business flows
Create client handoff coverage for customer-facing services
Assign owners for accepted risks or missing proof
Generate a repair prompt if the page blocks sign-off
Workflow

From launch scope to client sign-off

01

Create the website project

Group landing pages, app pages, checkout, and API health endpoints in one place.

02

Run the launch checklist

Get a readiness score, blockers, warnings, passed checks, and stored evidence.

03

Repair blockers

Copy a Repair Prompt or hand findings to the developer responsible for the release.

04

Prepare handoff

Use the handoff checklist when the page goes live or when paid traffic starts.

Plan fit

Use launch acceptance without changing your delivery process

Some customers need a one-time scope review. Others need a reusable Client Handoff checklist and risk review. Paid ReleaseTraq plans connect the pieces into evidence-backed sign-off.

FAQ

Common questions

Can this replace a manual website launch checklist?

It can replace the technical parts that should be checked by software. You may still keep human review for copy, brand, analytics, and legal content.

Does it crawl every page on my website?

ReleaseTraq is project-target based. Add the public URLs that matter most for launch readiness, then run Basic or Full checks against that scope.

Can agencies use this for client handoff?

Yes. Agency plans and one-off client-ready launch credits are designed for repeatable client launch reviews and reports.
