This repository includes:
A comprehensive launch guide covering:

Launching a website seems simple — until something breaks, ranks poorly, or confuses users.
Most issues come from skipping small but critical steps:
- Forgotten redirects
- Missing alt tags
- Uncompressed images
- Misconfigured tracking
- Broken links
- Missing sitemaps
- Poor mobile layouts
This checklist solves that.
It is the exact QA process used by professional digital agencies before pushing a website live.
