Before you hit publish on Framer, run through these essential pre-launch checks 🔥

Shipping fast means nothing if a sluggish, broken site bleeds conversions the second traffic hits.

Here is the non-negotiable Framer launch checklist to protect both performance and user experience:

1. Asset Compression: Convert images to WebP/AVIF and compress hero videos. Framer handles caching well, but multi-megabyte assets will still sink your Lighthouse score.

2. Technical SEO Foundations: Define custom page titles, meta descriptions, and social share images inside Page Settings for every single route.

3. Semantic HTML Tags: Check that headings follow an accurate hierarchy (one H1, followed by H2 and H3) and wrap primary navigation in rather than generic stacks. And every page under a main stack with tag main.

4. Breakpoint Audits: Don't rely solely on responsive preview mode. Test real mobile and tablet viewports to catch horizontal overflow, clipped text, or misaligned stacks.

5. Form & Conversion Pathways: Submit test entries through every form, confirm redirection logic, and click every external link to eliminate broken interactions.

6. Custom 404 & Favicon: Replace default Framer placeholders with a branded favicon and an intentional 404 page that guides lost visitors back to high-value pages.

7. Domain & Analytics Handshake: Verify DNS propagation, enforce HTTPS, and confirm tracking scripts (Google Analytics, PostHog, or Meta Pixel) fire accurately before the launch push.

Great UI grabs attention; bulletproof execution drives revenue.
