Well, I have told a bit about it in another blog, but its direct meaning is to check the website so that there are no bugs, the speed is correct, etc. You can use Google's lighthouse for this. Also, if you use Hostiger's hosting, you get a free tool there. And if you want to check the traffic of the website, you can use Google's analytics, which shows you live data.

Many people forget to make their website responsive, due to which when a user opens the website on mobile or tablet, it does not open properly and does not look good, which creates a bad impression, hence it is very important for you to make your website responsive which can run on every device and browser, if you do not do this then it is a simple thing that your website will never be able to grow and people will not use your website.

Managing and hosting a website is quite a tough job but if you follow all the steps mentioned by me correctly then you can easily create a website. Even if you don't know coding you can still make your website and host it using any free hosting like GitHub, Vercel but the thing to be kept in mind is that if it is a serious website then you should take paid hosting in which many things should be taken care of. Keep the SEO correct so that the website gets ranked in Google. Just follow these steps correctly then your website will be live in front of you.
