Technical SEO Checklist Before Website Launch
A checklist for HTTPS, speed, mobile, sitemap, meta, and indexing so your site is Google-ready from day one.

HTTPS and www redirect
Enable SSL and pick one canonical host (www or non-www) with a 301 redirect.
Mobile-friendly & Core Web Vitals
Test on a real phone. Compress images, trim heavy JS, and check LCP/CLS.
Titles, meta, and headings
Key pages need unique titles, meta descriptions, and a clear H1–H2 structure.
Sitemap & robots.txt
Submit sitemap.xml in Search Console. Do not block important pages in robots.txt.
404s, canonicals, and basic schema
Missing pages get a friendly 404. Canonicals are correct. Add Organization/LocalBusiness schema when relevant.
