Website health check: find out what’s wrong with your website
Not sure what’s wrong with your website? Metropolis Web Design’s health check finds broken links, layout problems on mobile and desktop, and other usability issues, then gives you a clear report on what to fix. It costs from £49.99.
What does the health check look at?
The problems that put visitors off without you noticing.
- Broken links, on your own pages and to other sites.
- Layout problems on desktop and mobile.
- Other things that make the site harder to use, such as confusing navigation or awkward forms.
What do I get?
A clear report that lists what’s wrong and what to fix first. You can fix things yourself, ask us to, or pass the report to whoever looks after your site.
What are the signs something’s wrong with a website?
Websites rarely break all at once. Look out for:
- fewer enquiries than you used to get
- pages that look wrong on a phone
- links that go nowhere
- pages that are slow to load
- customers mentioning problems they’ve had
Why do websites break?
Usually because things change around them. WordPress, plugins and themes update, and sometimes they stop working together. Pages you link to move or disappear. Content added over the years is never checked again. And new phones and browsers display pages differently. A health check catches the problems that build up.
Who the health check is for
Anyone who isn’t sure their website is working as well as it should. It’s especially useful if:
- you built the site yourself, or someone did it for you years ago
- the site hasn’t been checked or updated for a while
- the person who built it is no longer around
- enquiries from the website have dropped
- you’re thinking about a redesign and want to know what’s really wrong first
Why broken links and layout problems matter
Visitors notice them even when you don’t. A link that goes nowhere or a page that’s hard to read on a phone makes a business look careless, and people leave for a competitor’s site. Broken links can also make a site look neglected to search engines.
Most of these problems are quick to fix once you know they’re there. The hard part is finding them, which is what the health check does.
What happens after the health check?
You decide. Small fixes can often be done quickly. If your WordPress site needs more, a redesign starts at £375. And if the report shows the site has had its day, we’ll talk you through a new website.
