Pre-launch technical SEO checklist: robots, sitemap, structured data, Open Graph, and security headers

An executable workflow for the most common indexing, snippet, sharing, and security checks before a site, topic page, or redesign goes live.

Direct answer

Before launch, do not only check that the page opens. Confirm the URL, title, and snippet, generate robots.txt and a sitemap, inspect structured data and Open Graph tags, then validate security headers to reduce indexing exclusions, weak previews, and browser-trust gaps.

FAQ

Before launch, do not only check that the page opens. Confirm the URL, title, and snippet, generate robots.txt and a sitemap, inspect structured data and Open Graph tags, then validate security headers to reduce indexing exclusions, weak previews, and browser-trust gaps.

Is a sitemap required before launch?

Small sites can still be discovered through links, but new sites, tool sites, and batch topic releases benefit from a sitemap plus robots, internal links, and Search Console submission.

Why are robots.txt generated results not public sitemap URLs?

Robots drafts may reveal private paths, admin directories, or launch strategy, so Chakan indexes the tool page but not individual generated drafts.
