A launch checklistyou will use.
Six checks for launch day. None is exotic, and each has bitten someone who skipped it.
// the steps
Six steps
01 Secrets are cleanNo keys in code or history, env files ignored, live keys only in your host settings, and test keys swapped out.
02 Pages hold at three widthsOpen every important page at 375, 768 and 1280 pixels and press every button.
03 Money paths are testedRun a full purchase in the provider test mode, including a failed card and a refund.
04 Errors are visibleMake sure you will hear about a failure. Check logs and set one alert for errors.
05 Backups existConfirm the database can be restored. Try a restore once. An untested backup is a hope.
06 You can roll backKnow the previous good version and the command to return to it. Write it down where you can find it.

Where Adams fits
A launch flow with proofProPro includes a launch flow that lists these checks, runs the ones it can, and shows the real output so a skipped check is never read as a pass.

Questions
Should I launch quietly first?
Yes. A small audience finds the first surprises while the cost is low.
What about legal pages?
If you take payment or collect personal data, publish a privacy policy and terms that are true. Ask a professional if unsure.
How often should I repeat this?
The secrets and layout checks every release. The backup test every few months.
