1. Change `APP_ENV=production` in `.env`
2. Set `APP_DEBUG=false`
3. Generate new `APP_KEY`
4. Change admin password
5. Set real database password
6. Configure real mail credentials
7. Run optimization commands

⚠️ **Security:**
- The default admin password (`ChangeMe123!`) must be changed
- Mail password placeholder must be replaced with real Gmail App Password
- Database password should be set for production
