I’d also add FavIcons, I’ll admit, I don’t use them, however if not used, they clog up your Apache error_log and also waste server requests, plus if someone bookmarks your site, at least there’s an icon. Small yes, but I think it’s something to look out for.

This is a good list thanks. I was inspired by >> 4. Admins get error emails when site error happens.to examine this a little further. I think there are plenty of triggers which can be used get such email so I wrote a post on it. http://13.7billionyearslater.net/2011/checklist-of-webmaster-error-notificati…

It’s easy to forget the basics while you’re in the middle of launching your website. This list is a nice reminder. Thanks.

Open Web Application Security Project ( http://OWASP.org ) has some cheatsheets on testing for web security issues. These can easily be added as a checklist and a basic security review is a possibility. Although unless the coverage is complete one can never has the assurance of a secure website but doing a basic security review will ensure some glaring security issues can be taken care of.

One checklist item to address re: security is verifying that every single database call within the site’s backend is run through a sanitizer. SQL Injection seems to be the dominant method of breaking into websites, and has been consistently effective for years.

Why pay that much for website monitoring – only $10 at NodePing (nodeping.com) to watch up to 1000 sites/services at one minute intervals. Best deal out there.

You do not want to do #12 (Admins get emails on broken links), unless you have a way to filter out all the hits from bots looking for common vulns.
