 1. Launch a site

##  󠀁[ Troubleshoot a WordPress site launch ](https://docs.wpvip.com/launch-a-site/launch-troubleshooting/)󠁿

If a WordPress site launch did not complete as expected, and assistance is still
needed after following the troubleshooting steps below, create a request with VIP
Support. If needed, the Support team can assist with restoring a site to its most
recent backup.

 1. Launch a site

##  󠀁[ Complete a site launch ](https://docs.wpvip.com/launch-a-site/complete-a-site-launch/)󠁿

For WordPress site launches, the `search-replace` step in the VIP Dashboard launch
flow will update the URL values in the database with the new domain, but public 
traffic cannot access the site until DNS records are updated to point to VIP.

 1. Launch a site

##  󠀁[ Begin a network site launch ](https://docs.wpvip.com/launch-a-site/begin-a-multisite-launch/)󠁿

Launch a network site on a WordPress multisite environment—or update a network site’s
domain—in the Network Sites panel in the VIP Dashboard.

 1. Launch a site

##  󠀁[ Begin a single site launch ](https://docs.wpvip.com/launch-a-site/begin-a-single-site-launch/)󠁿

WordPress single sites can be launched from within the VIP Dashboard with the self-
launch tool.

##  󠀁[ Launch a site ](https://docs.wpvip.com/launch-a-site/)󠁿

Customers can self-launch a WordPress or a Node.js site from within the VIP Dashboard.
Though launch tools in the VIP Dashboard differ for a WordPress single site, a WordPress
multisite, and a Node.js site, all launches require the same preparation steps.

 1. Enterprise Search

##  󠀁[ Offload a WP_Query to Enterprise Search ](https://docs.wpvip.com/enterprise-search/enable-non-search-queries/)󠁿

Enterprise Search automatically sends all standard front-end search queries to Elasticsearch.
Non-standard queries can also be offloaded to Elasticsearch by adding custom code
that modifies the behavior of WP_Query.

 1. Databases
 2. Optimize database queries

##  󠀁[ Optimize core queries at scale ](https://docs.wpvip.com/databases/optimize-queries/optimize-core-queries-at-scale/)󠁿

Performance issues can be caused by core Wordpress queries that perform well when
a site has a small amount of data, but as the volume of site content increases the
queries require a longer amount of time to execute.

 1. Performance

##  󠀁[ Analyze a site’s server performance ](https://docs.wpvip.com/performance/analyze-server-performance/)󠁿

Analyzing a site's performance, and making any necessary adjustments to improve 
it, will help to ensure a site's performance during unexpected high traffic situations,
including unpredictable types of request spikes.

 1. Enterprise Search

##  󠀁[ Rate limiting in Enterprise Search ](https://docs.wpvip.com/enterprise-search/rate-limiting/)󠁿

Rate limiting of Enterprise Search can occur if too many of the same queries are
made directly to Elasticsearch (ES) rather than effectively utilizing caching.

 1. Enterprise Search

##  󠀁[ Index with Enterprise Search ](https://docs.wpvip.com/enterprise-search/index/)󠁿

Indexing compiles a site's content and inserts it into an Elasticsearch (ES) index.
Indexing can be triggered with a VIP-CLI command.
