10 Things to Check Before Launching Your Framer Site
Launching a website is exciting — but hitting “Publish” too quickly can lead to missed details that affect your SEO, user experience, and overall professionalism. Whether you’re releasing a portfolio, a landing page, or a full product site, these 10 checks will help ensure your Framer site launches clean, polished, and ready for real visitors.
Here’s a simple, beginner-friendly checklist every Framer user should run through.
Set Clear, Unique Page Titles
Every page should have a descriptive and unique title.
This is what appears in:
Browser tabs
Google search results
Link previews
Your page title is your first impression — make sure it communicates exactly what the page is about.
Add a Meaningful Page Description
Descriptions don’t directly boost SEO ranking, but they play a huge role in click-through rate (CTR).
Write short, clear summaries that:
Explain what users can expect
Encourage action
Match the intent of the page
A strong description can be the difference between being ignored or clicked.
Clean Up Your URL Slugs
Avoid default or messy slugs like:
/page-1 or /untitled
Use clean, readable slugs such as:
/pricing/services/contact
Shorter = better.
Readable = essential.
It helps both your users and search engines understand your structure.
Test Responsiveness Across Devices
Even a beautiful desktop layout can break on mobile.
Check:
All breakpoints
Text scaling
Image placement
Button spacing
Navigation behavior
Framer makes responsive editing easy — but only if you actually check your layouts before publishing.
Optimize Your Images
Framer auto-compresses and scales images for you, which keeps your site fast by default. But you still have control when needed.
You can:
Manually set image sizes
Choose lossless quality for crisp visuals
Replace oversized images that slow down mobile users
Faster load = better SEO + better conversions.
Set Your Favicon and Social Preview Image
These small details make a big difference.
A favicon:
Improves professionalism
Helps with brand recognition
Looks better in browser tabs
A social preview image:
Improves link sharing
Controls how your site appears on Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.
Your brand should look intentional everywhere.
Do a Basic Accessibility Check
Accessibility isn’t optional — it’s part of good design.
Before launching, check:
Button labels (avoid generic “Click Here”)
Color contrast
Keyboard navigation
Alt text for images
A few simple tweaks can make your site usable for everyone.
Review Global Site Settings
Framer allows you to set:
Fallback titles
Fallback descriptions
Global SEO defaults
If you accidentally forget to customize a page, these settings catch the mistake. Think of them as your built-in safety net.
Set Up Redirects (If Needed)
If you’re:
Migrating from an older site
Removing pages
Changing your URL structure
…you MUST set up redirects.
Otherwise, visitors will hit 404 pages, and that hurts SEO.
Framer’s redirect tools make this easy — use them before launching.
Run a Quick SEO Audit
Before publishing, run your site through:
A browser extension
A free online audit tool
A mini report in staging
This helps you identify:
Missing alt text
Slow-loading pages
Weak metadata
Mobile issues
Broken links
Catching issues before launch = a smoother release and better search performance.
