Deploying a Lovable app is not just pressing publish. A serious launch needs a custom domain, environment variables, analytics, metadata, testing, forms, database checks, and a rollback plan.
Quick verdict
Before launch, test the live URL like a real user: sign up, submit forms, check mobile layout, inspect analytics, verify SEO metadata, and confirm that important pages are indexed in the sitemap.
