Testing Recommendations

After you launch your website, make sure that everything functions properly. Follow these recommendations to verify your site is working correctly.

Your Email

Ensure that your email is working properly:

1. Send a test email message to yourself.
2. Ask a friend to send you a test message.

Warning: If your MX Records are not correct, you may not receive email at your domain email addresses. Refer to Steps 1 and 7 of the Domain Setup instructions to correct the email settings associated with your domain. Contact your domain registrar's support personnel or review their support documentation for further assistance.

301 Redirects

Test your 301 Redirects by entering an old URL in your browser address bar:

• If the redirects are working correctly, your new website URL is displayed.
• If your new website URL is not displayed, your 301 Redirects are incorrectly configured.

See the SEO section for additional information about 301 Redirects.

Forms

If you have included forms on your website, submit test information via every form to ensure that each form is working properly.

See the Forms section for additional information.
