Wexlab Website Launch Checker

Wexlab Website Launch Checker

Details
View on WordPress

Wexlab Website Launch Checker is an independent tool by WP Expert Lab that helps WordPress developers and site owners catch common pre-launch mistakes — placeholder text, dummy links, missing settings — before a client or visitor ever sees them.

Run a scan, work through the list, and re-scan to confirm each item is actually fixed. Every issue is tracked with an Open / Fixed / Ignored status so nothing gets forgotten between rounds of edits.

What it checks

  • Lorem Ipsum placeholder text in page and post content
  • Generic placeholder/demo text (“sample text”, “your text here”, “coming soon”, etc.)
  • example.com references left in content
  • Dummy or test email addresses (test@test.com, john@doe.com, etc.)
  • Empty links and # placeholder links in published content
  • Empty Elementor buttons and Elementor buttons using # as their link
  • Other common page builder fields (Divi, Beaver Builder, Bricks, Oxygen, CornerStone)
  • Whether HTTPS is active on the site URL
  • Search engine visibility (the “discourage search engines” setting)
  • Site title / tagline placeholders
  • Homepage configuration (a static homepage that isn’t set or isn’t published)
  • Missing site icon / favicon
  • Published posts or pages with obvious test/demo titles

How it works

  1. Go to Tools > Launch Checker in your WordPress admin.
  2. Click “Scan Website”.
  3. Work through the list of Open issues and fix them on your site.
  4. Click “Scan Website” again — anything that’s actually fixed is automatically marked Fixed, and anything still present stays Open.
  5. Use “Ignore” on any item that doesn’t apply to your project (e.g. an intentional # anchor link).

Privacy

All scanning happens locally, directly against your own WordPress database and content. No site content, URLs, or scan results are ever sent to an external server.
