Final checklist for Agent before publishing website

Hi all,

I’m new here. I don’t know if anyone can help me, or add to what I have done.

I build quite a few websites. Mainly for smaller businesses / locally based (and my personal businesses)

Before I go live with a site, I upload a checklist into Replit and ask Agent to check everything has been done to fully optimise the site for launch.

The checklist itself was produced by Agent, after I had manually asked all the tasks to be done. I thought to myself surely there’s an easier way than having to type this in every build. So I asked Agent to create me a re-useable to-do list.

I’m not a traditional coder nor an SEO expert, so this is all self learned.

Any advice, additions, etc would be appreciated. And of course, please tell me if anything in here is fundamentally wrong.

Is there a way I can attached a PDF or Word.doc. here?

Thanks,

Andrew

This sounds like a reasonable and typical workflow. Is it having issues performing on your pasted task list?

No it’s working fine, I’m just wondering if a) it’s a fully comprehensive checklist, and b) as I’m not a coder, should I do it like I have, or is there a better / more optimal way?

How did you generate your checklist? Did you use AI like Chat or Claude to build a relevant 2025 SEO checklist, etc.?

That is my typical workflow, research, plan, plaste to Agent in Plan Mode, let Plan Mode build a checklist, switch to Build mode, let it rip.

I’ve sent you a DM Eric.

Thanks.

Happy to help!

Add logging of events. This is a very common practice that developers follow.

Make sure secrets /api keys are not hard-coded.

Also consider using other tools like Google Analytics for getting insights.

Make sure the links in your app (if any) are working. Also the assets like assets are loading correctly.

The most important being if there is authentication implemented, it is working as expected.

Make the agent do end to end testing.

Also many users are mobile first. Make sure your website is responsive.

The contact / feedback form is working.

Please ensure there is version control in place. This will help you to rollback if a new change breaks the existing functionality

I think you can paste them in Claude.md file and ask the agent to follow them

Sorry, I wasn’t ignoring your messages.

I had spoke to Eric privately and he had helped me out.

Most of what you said I do as standard anyway, it was purely a final checklist for Agent before deployment, mainly around SEO, GEO, AEO, GSC, Meta, H1, etc, etc.

I think I now have a fully comprehensive checklist that I can upload prior to deployment.

I’ve tried it on 4 websites I’ve built and all seems good. Added some things my one didn’t include.

So all cool and thanks for taking the time to reply. Appreciate it.

It makes a mess of css style sheets if you’ve asked to change the design a few times. What we would see as clean css it makes into messy css. So ask it to clean up unused css. You could also set colors at the start of your project by assigning primary secondary, highlights and darks as core colors. That way your site is using these core colors and doesn’t have thousands of css colours assigned with slight varaitions in hex colours.
