First Things First

Install analytics to track visitor information. Place Google Analytics code on each page of your website and verify it. You can place it at the top or bottom, wherever you like.

Create a Webmaster Tools Account

Having a webmaster tools account will help you with fresh visitor data tracked by search engines. You will see how your site is performing. Accounts are available with Google as well as Bing. It is advisable that you open an account with both. If webmaster tools’ data differs from your analytics data, go with the analytics.

Run a Crawl Test

These tools will let you know whether all pages of your site are accessible to visitors as well as search engines.

Check Cross-Browser Compatibility

Make sure the layouts and graphics of your website run smoothly across each and every browser out there. A nice way to do this is to use browser emulators.

Got RSS Feed? You Can Improve It by Monitoring
