# Site Launch Audit

Site Launch Audit scans your published content and settings for the small, easy-to-miss problems that embarrass a launch: an image without alt text, a "Sample Page" still published, a debug flag left on from staging. It is a launch-readiness checklist, not a full site inspector, and it runs entirely on your server.

## How to enable it

1. Go to Divi Torque, open Settings, then the Quality tab.
2. Switch Site Launch Audit on and save.
3. Reload the dashboard. Site Launch Audit now appears in the Divi Torque menu.

## The six checks

**Missing alt text.** Counts images without alt text on each published page. Graded warning.

**Placeholder content.** Flags the default "Sample Page" and "Hello world!" if they are still published (warning) and any lorem ipsum text found on a page (critical).

**Staging and debug indicators.** Warns when WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY is on and PHP errors could leak to visitors (critical), when "Discourage search engines from indexing this site" is still checked (warning), and when the site URL looks like a staging or local hostname (notice).

**Unused modules.** Lists Torque modules that are enabled but not used on any page, so you can disable them in Module Manager. Graded notice.

**Broken integrations.** Flags a Mailer that still has the placeholder SMTP host or a blank username, and a Google Places API key with no place selected for Google Reviews. Graded warning.

**Caching.** Notes when no page-caching or object-caching plugin is detected. Some hosts cache at the server level, so this one is a notice, not a warning.

## Reading the report

The report opens with three counters: Critical, Warning, and Notice. Below them, findings are sorted by severity. When a finding points at a specific page, it carries an Edit button that opens that page directly. Fix the criticals first, then work down.

## Rescanning

Results are cached for one hour and refreshed automatically when you save content. The Rescan button in the report header re-runs everything immediately. Repeat fix and rescan until the report says no issues found.

## What it deliberately does not do

The audit does not crawl links, check SEO titles, run accessibility contrast or ARIA checks, or profile performance. Those need dedicated tools and human review. The scan also never makes outbound HTTP requests and covers up to 300 published items per content check, so it stays fast on large sites.

## Frequently asked questions

**Who can see the report?**
Administrators only. Both the report and the rescan require the manage_options capability.

**Does the scan slow down my site?**
No. It runs when you open the report, server side, and the result is cached for an hour.

**Is Site Launch Audit free?**
No. It is part of Divi Torque Pro, along with every Pro module and extension. See [pricing](https://divitorque.com/pricing/).
