Use this list in one pass. Mark what already works and what needs work. It does not replace log or code review—it shows where to look first.
1. Availability
Open the homepage in a private window without a password wall or browser error. Spot-check key inner pages the same way.
2. Mobile layout
Check the primary pages on a phone-width viewport: readable text, tappable buttons, no horizontal scroll that hides the CTA.
3. Forms
Submit a test message on the contact form. Confirm the success state appears and that mail delivery is configured for production (LOCAL environments may hold mail on purpose).
4. SSL
The address bar should show HTTPS without certificate warnings. Mixed-content warnings on images or scripts should be cleared.
5. Indexing
Ensure the site is not blocked from search when you intend to publish (blog_public / robots). LOCAL COM stays noindex by design until launch.
6. Speed
Note slow templates and oversized media. For WordPress-specific work, see speed optimization.
7. Security basics
Admin users should use strong passwords; unused plugins should be removed; backups should exist before risky updates. Care plans cover planned update cycles—see Managed WordPress Care.
How to use the list
If several items fail, prioritize availability and forms before marketing. For bug fixing or recovery help, see troubleshooting or contacts.
