Complete as many items as possible to ensure that your production environment is resilient. *** ## Operations ### Monitor your operations ### Build a release strategy *** ## Security ### Set up guardrails *** ## Performance ### Optimize site performance *** ## Go live guide This guide prepares you to go live with a Hydrogen storefront that's hosted on Oxygen. ### Load testing If you plan to load test your build before launch, then our anti-bot System might recognize your load test system as bot traffic and throttle it. To coordinate a scheduled load test, connect with your Merchant Success Manager or Shopify Support three to five weeks in advance of your go live date. ### Shopify analytics To ensure that Shopify analytics are working properly, follow our [set up guide](https://shopify.dev/docs/storefronts/headless/hydrogen/analytics) ### Manage Shopify Scripts If you're using Shopify Scripts, then you might need to [unpublish and republish them](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/checkout-settings/script-editor/publish) and ensure that they're available to the Storefront API. ### Update Meta & Google product feeds If you're using Meta & Google apps for your product feeds for advertising, then you'll need to update those catalogs to use your Hydrogen storefront's domain. You can do this either using a third-party tool instead of the standard Facebook and Google sales channels, or by setting up feed rules.
