About this plugin
Azwar Launch Task Manager helps you set up and launch your WordPress site with confidence. Whether you’re a first-time site owner, blogger, or small business, this plugin walks you through every important step, from basic settings and security to SEO, performance, and launch day.
New in 1.1: Smart Checks
The checklist now checks itself. Smart Checks looks at your site’s settings, pages, and active plugins, and automatically marks tasks complete when they are already done. Installing on an existing site?
You’ll see your real progress straight away instead of starting from zero.
Smart Checks can detect:
- Permalinks, timezone, site title and tagline
- HTTPS, the “admin” username, and disabled file editing
- Site icon and logo
- Homepage, About, Contact, Privacy Policy, and Terms pages
- Popular security, caching, image optimization, SEO, analytics, and backup plugins
- Removed sample content, and whether search engines can index your site
You stay in control: change any task’s status yourself and Smart Checks will leave it alone. You can also turn automatic completion off with one click.
