The Ultimate Compose.page Checklist Before You Go Live

Going live is exhilarating — and a little nerve-wracking. This checklist walks through critical items to verify before publishing a Compose.page site to ensure performance, SEO, accessibility, and analytics are all in order.

Content and copy

Proofread all headlines and CTA text.
Verify links and forms work correctly.
Confirm brand assets (logos, colors) are consistent across pages.

Performance and assets

Compress and resize images; ensure LCP image is optimized.
Enable lazy-loading for offscreen images.
Check Lighthouse scores and address major issues.

SEO essentials

Set canonical tags and meta descriptions for each page.
Provide open graph images sized for social sharing.
Generate and submit a sitemap to search consoles.

Accessibility

Provide alt text for images and ARIA roles for complex widgets.
Ensure color contrast passes WCAG AA.
Test keyboard navigation and focus order.

Analytics and tracking

Install analytics (GA4/Plausible) and verify events for key CTAs.
Set up UTM conventions for campaigns.
Test conversion and funnel tracking before launching paid campaigns.

“Publishing is not the end — it's the beginning of measurement and iteration.”

Security and domain

Configure custom domain and check SSL certificates.
Set up DNS records with the right TTL values.
Ensure form data is encrypted in transit and at rest per provider settings.

Post-launch

Monitor errors and uptime for 48–72 hours.
Review initial analytics to validate traffic sources and baseline metrics.
Plan rapid iterations based on qualitative and quantitative feedback.

Use this checklist as your last pass before announcing to the world. Launch confidently — and treat the first week as your research window for improvements and quick wins.
