Immediately after launch, Toolbelt Websites checks the public website and key customer-facing functions while allowing for the fact that DNS or cached information may still be updating in some places.
What does Toolbelt Websites check?
Key pages, navigation, main contact routes and HTTPS are reviewed on the public website. Where a contact form is part of the website, that is also checked as part of the launch process.
Can DNS propagation still be happening?
Yes. A website can be correctly launched while some networks still temporarily show the previous version. That can happen because DNS information does not refresh everywhere at exactly the same time.
What should I do?
You can check the new site from your usual devices and report anything that looks wrong. Avoid making independent DNS or hosting changes while a launch issue is being checked, because that can make troubleshooting harder.
Should I cancel the old hosting now?
No. Old hosting should remain active until the new website and any dependent services have been checked and Toolbelt Websites has confirmed it is safe to cancel where appropriate.
