Website pre-launch checklist
Use this checklist before pushing a new website live. It covers the items most teams forget (favicons, meta tags, redirects, analytics, robots.txt), grouped by area so you can split the work across a team.

About this tool
Most launch issues are not bugs, they are missed steps. A redirect that didn't make it across, an analytics tag still in staging mode, an OG image that 404s. This list bundles the checks the Huddlekit team uses on agency, product, and marketing sites so nothing slips through on go-live day.

Frequently asked questions
Does my progress save?
Yes. Tick state is saved to your browser's localStorage so you can come back later. Nothing is sent to a server. Clearing your browser data resets the checklist.
Can I use this on multiple projects?
The checklist saves one state per browser. If you work on multiple launches in parallel, copy the markdown for each project to a separate doc when you wrap up that launch.
Is this enough for a large e-commerce launch?
It covers the foundational items every site needs. Add e-commerce-specific checks (payment flow, transactional emails, tax calculation, refund flow, inventory sync) on top of this list.
Where do I paste the markdown output?
Anywhere: Notion, Linear, GitHub, Confluence, Slack. The output uses standard markdown checkboxes that render as interactive checkboxes in most tools.
