Use this order
- Sign in to administration and confirm the site name and public address.
- Open Security & Checkup and resolve red readiness items first.
- Configure outbound email before relying on verification, password reset or notifications.
- Review the active theme and the navigation assigned to it.
- Enable only the modules you intend to use, then complete each module's setup.
- Create a backup before opening the site to visitors.
A green dashboard is not a substitute for testing the real tasks your visitors will perform.
