React SPA launch checklist

React app shipped — but is it launch-ready?

Create React App, Vite, and custom SPAs often ship without server-side security headers, proper meta tags for client routing, or accessible form labels. Audit the live build before you drive traffic.

Security & headers

Production deploys need baseline HTTP hardening before you share the URL.

  • Configure HSTS and redirect HTTP to HTTPS at your CDN or reverse proxy — SPAs rarely set this in-app.

    Audit check SEC-001 · security

  • Deploy a Content-Security-Policy that restricts script-src — React apps often load third-party analytics.

    Audit check SEC-003 · security

  • Ensure X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is set on static asset responses.

SEO & discoverability

Metadata, crawlability, and structured data that search and AI systems rely on.

  • Use react-helmet or SSR meta injection so /pricing and /signup have unique titles — crawlers don't run your router.

  • Prerender or SSR critical landing routes — blank index.html hurts social previews and AI crawlers.

  • Verify favicon and apple-touch-icon load from the production CDN path.

Performance

Core Web Vitals and load behavior under real traffic — not just localhost.

  • Code-split routes and defer non-critical bundles — measure LCP on the heaviest dashboard view.

    Audit check PERF-001 · performance

  • Audit third-party script impact on Total Blocking Time.

    Audit check PERF-005 · performance

Accessibility

Client-rendered forms and modals are a common WCAG failure point.

  • All inputs need associated labels — placeholder-only fields fail axe scans.

    Audit check A11Y-001 · accessibility

  • Verify color contrast on primary buttons and error states.

FAQ

React launch questions

Can Launch Auditor audit a client-only React SPA?

Yes. The crawler loads your app in a real browser, executes JavaScript, and checks rendered DOM for metadata, accessibility, and performance — not just static HTML.
