Pre-launch checklist for SaaS & AI-built apps
Use this pre-launch checklist before Product Hunt, Indie Hackers, or paid ads — security, SEO, trust, performance, accessibility, and AI visibility on the URL you will actually share.
Supabase backend testing (optional)
Provide Supabase credentials to run deeper RLS and cross-tenant isolation probes. Secrets are encrypted at rest and never appear in scan reports.
Expand to add optional Supabase credentials.

FAQ
Pre-launch checklist questions
What should be on a SaaS pre-launch checklist?
At minimum: HTTPS and headers, legal pages, SEO metadata, working auth and pricing, mobile UX, and social previews. Add AI crawler access and monitoring if you expect sustained traffic after launch day.
How long does a pre-launch website audit take?
Launch Auditor returns a scored clearance report in under five minutes for most sites. Fixing P0 issues usually takes longer than the scan itself.
