Overview

Launch day bugs hide in robots.txt typos, missing canonicals, and duplicate meta descriptions. This checklist hub orders the technical SEO passes Utilnivo users run before publishing a new site, portfolio, or landing page.

HTTP Header Checker confirms HTTPS, redirects, and cache behavior. Meta Tag Generator drafts title, description, and social tags; Meta Tag Preview and Open Graph Preview show how snippets may look. Robots.txt Generator and Sitemap Generator produce crawler files; validators catch syntax errors. Schema Validator checks JSON-LD before you ship structured data.

Run the Launch a basic SEO-ready website workflow for the core four steps, then Debug a site before launch when you also need DNS, SSL, and schema checks. Repeat meta tags for each important template—not only the homepage.

  • Staging URL smoke test → HTTP Header Checker.
  • Homepage tags → Meta Tag Generator + previews.
  • Crawler rules → Robots.txt Generator and Tester.
  • Discovery file → Sitemap Generator and Validator.
  • Structured data → Schema Validator.

Frequently asked questions

Is one meta tag block enough for the whole site?

No. Generate unique titles and descriptions per important URL.

Where do I upload robots.txt and sitemap.xml?

Host them on your domain root and reference the sitemap inside robots.txt.

Does this replace Google Search Console?

No. These tools speed up pre-launch checks; Search Console shows how Google actually crawls you after launch.
