On launch of a site, do you ever perform any tests that are linked to SEO and if so, what do you check for?

Sure I do!
I usually use this tool Screaming Frog SEO Spider Website Crawler it shows lots of stuff that may affect the SEO of a website. Even if you’re not an expert in SEO you can learn which things you need to check in terms of SEO. There are some other similar tools, I would suggest trying any you like, some of them are free (but with limitations as the one I mentioned) or have fewer features, etc.
General things to check are meta tags on the page, their size (not too long or short), that they are present and different on different pages; the picture size; sitemap; that you don’t have 404 links (any, I mean not only pages but links to any resources on your website; you can any crawler for this) or 5xx, 400, etc; be careful with redirects 301, 302 (don’t remember which one 
but it’s not good for google); pay attention to noindex tag and security headers.

I am wanting to test SEO before going live. It’s like making sure all your ducks are in a row. One thing I’ve found super helpful is running a thorough SEO audit using tools like https://www.searchseo.io . It helps catch any issues before they become a problem. Also, make sure to check your site’s load speed and mobile-friendliness. Sometimes, the little things, like meta tags and alt text for images, can make a big difference. Just remember, a bit of prep now can save a lot of headaches later.
