Common technical issues before delivering a WordPress website
Many problems do not come from a major technical failure, but from small details left open at the end of a project: incorrect indexing, exposed access points, incomplete redirects or installations that were never fully closed before launch.
If it fails here, it should be reviewed before delivery.
What PreFlight is
PreFlight is a technical verification tool for WordPress projects before launch or delivery.
It is not a full SEO audit or a generic marketing review. It applies a technical control to the analyzed URL to check whether the website is ready to be published or delivered with a clear minimum standard.
It does not replace experience, it makes it repeatable.
Who it is for
If you work with WordPress and deliver websites to clients, this check can become part of your closing process before launch.
WordPress freelancers
Close deliveries with more confidence. Reduce post-launch revisions and avoid small technical issues that damage trust.
Agencies
Standardize technical review before launch. Less rework, more internal consistency.
Technical teams
Use a shared verification standard before marking a project as finished.

The simplified view is designed to help you act inside WordPress without unnecessary complexity. The advanced protocol is built for teams that need closing criteria.
A technical standard before delivery
PreFlight turns a set of technical checks into a visible standard before publishing or delivering a WordPress website.
If the website meets the standard, it can display the PreFlight badge as a signal that it passed a prior technical verification.
This is not marketing, it is technical control before delivery.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a WordPress audit?
Not exactly. PreFlight is not a full WordPress audit or a deep SEO review. It is a technical standard before production, designed to validate critical points before delivering a website. It does not review marketing or strategy, it reviews technical configurations that should not fail in a professional delivery.
Why use a technical checklist before delivering a website?
Because common issues are not always detected during development. Indexing problems, incorrect redirects or exposed sensitive routes often appear after launch. PreFlight acts as a final check before production.
Can it be used on a website that is already live?
Yes. Although it is designed as a pre-delivery checklist, it can also be used on websites already in production. It is useful for detecting technical issues that affect indexing, access or core configuration.
Do I need technical knowledge to use it?
No. The simplified view is designed to help you understand the result and what to do next directly in WordPress. The advanced protocol is there for teams that work with QA or need formal closing criteria.
What is the difference between the free account and Pro?
The free account includes the complete simplified view and analysis history. Pro adds the advanced protocol, deeper technical remediation, advanced verification and a formal closing checklist for professional environments.
Does it replace a full SEO or security audit?
No. PreFlight does not replace a deep SEO audit or a full security review. Its purpose is to close critical points before delivering a WordPress website, not to cover every possible optimization layer.
When should I use PreFlight?
Right before delivering or launching a WordPress website. It is also useful after a migration, redesign or major configuration change to confirm that critical points are still correctly set.
