It's Go Time.
As we prepare for the pivotal moment of launching your website, we adhere to a meticulous checklist that encompasses modern best practices and industry standards. This ensures a seamless migration and a robust online presence from day one.
Ensuring that the website is responsive and provides a good user experience on mobile devices. This is crucial given the increasing number of mobile users.
This goes beyond just speed testing. It ensures that the site loads quickly, especially on slower connections or devices. Consider tools like Google PageSpeed Insights or GTmetrix.
Making sure your website is accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. Tools like AXE or WAVE can assist in this review.
Before migrating, ensure there's a backup of both the old and new sites. This provides a safety net in case anything goes wrong during the migration.
If you're using a Content Delivery Network, ensure it's properly configured to speed up content delivery and reduce server load.
It's not just about browsers anymore. Ensure that the site functions correctly across various devices, from desktops to tablets to smartphones.
Set up tools to monitor for 404s or other errors so they can be addressed quickly.
If URLs have changed, internal links should be updated to point to the new URLs, avoiding unnecessary redirects.
Ensure that Open Graph tags (for platforms like Facebook) and Twitter cards are set up correctly so that when your pages are shared, they display attractively on social platforms.
After going live, monitor the website closely for any unexpected issues, be it in traffic, SEO rankings, or functionality.
