How is this different from the /for/webflow builder guide?
This checklist maps items to automated audit checks. The /for/webflow builder guide covers the AI-builder workflow and fix prompts — use both before you drive traffic to a Webflow export.

Webflow launch checklist
Webflow site published — launch-ready?
Designer-perfect pages still ship with missing custom domain headers, duplicate meta from CMS collections, unoptimized Lottie assets, and policy pages left in draft.
SEO & discoverability
Metadata, crawlability, and structured data that search and AI systems rely on.
Unique SEO titles and descriptions on CMS collection templates — not just the homepage.
Audit check SEO-001 · seo
Open Graph images set per template — Webflow defaults show blank social previews.
Audit check SEO-004 · seo
Auto-generated sitemap enabled and submitted after custom domain connect.
Audit check SEO-010 · seo
DNS & SSL
Custom domain and certificate health on Webflow hosting.
SSL active on www and apex after DNS propagation — verify both resolve.
Audit check DNS-001 · dns ssl
Performance
Core Web Vitals and load behavior under real traffic — not just localhost.
Compress hero images and lazy-load below-fold media — Webflow exports often ship large assets.
Audit check PERF-001 · performance
Audit third-party embeds (Calendly, Typeform, analytics) for Total Blocking Time impact.
Audit check PERF-005 · performance
Security & headers
Production deploys need baseline HTTP hardening before you share the URL.
Add HSTS and CSP via Cloudflare or reverse proxy — Webflow hosting omits custom headers.
Audit check SEC-001 · security
Trust & legal
Policy pages, contact signals, and checkout trust before paid or viral traffic.
Privacy Policy and Terms published (not draft) and linked in global footer.
Audit check TRUST-001 · trust
