Free Website Health Check

Is your website really working for you?

Is your website showing its age?

If your website has been around for a few years, it may be quietly causing problems you can’t see. Small things stop working, pages load slowly, and you’re not sure whether it’s still safe.

We’ll give your website a free, honest health check. We’ll look at its security, health, speed, and how it shows up on Google, then explain what we find in plain English.

It’s completely free. There’s no card, no subscription and no catch.

Sound Familiar?

Signs your website needs some attention

  • It was built years ago, and nobody has really looked after it since
  • Little things keep breaking, like a form that stops sending or a page that looks odd on a phone
  • You’re nervous about clicking “update” in case something breaks
  • You’ve had warnings about plugins, PHP or your theme, and you’re not sure what they mean
  • You don’t know who built it, or the developer is no longer around
  • You worry it could be hacked, or you’re not sure it’s backed up
  • It feels slow and dated, and it doesn’t show up on Google like it used to

If you nodded along to any of these, you’re not alone. It’s the most common situation we see, and it’s usually easier to fix than people expect.

Free Website Health Check – What we look for

A proper look under the bonnet

Website Security

We check for outdated themes, plugins and software that could leave your site open to attack. We look for known vulnerabilities, old versions of PHP and missing basics like backups and SSL.
Read more about why keeping PHP up to date matters

Website health

We look for the things behind those small niggles, including errors, broken links, conflicting plugins and a theme that may no longer be supported.

Speed and performance

We test how quickly your site loads on phones and computers. Older sites often slow down over time, and slow sites lose visitors.

Google visibility and Business Profile

We check how easily people can find you on Google Search and Maps, including the new AI search tools, and whether your business details are accurate and complete.

Your Questions Answered

Below are some answers to commonly asked questions from our Site Audit clients.

There’s no catch. The audit is free, and you’re under no obligation to use us afterwards. If you’d like help fixing what we find, we’ll be happy to talk it through, but that’s entirely up to you.

Your website address, the name of your business on Google, and admin access to your website. Outside checks only show part of the picture. With access, we can see your theme, plugins, PHP version and backups properly, so nothing important gets missed.

You don’t need to share your own password. Instead, we’ll show you how to create a separate login just for us, which takes a couple of minutes. We only look; we won’t change anything without your say-so. Once the audit is done, you can delete our login, or we can remove it for you.

Yes. That’s more common than you’d think, especially with older websites. We can usually help you regain access through your hosting company, and that’s a useful thing to sort out anyway.

Yes. Older websites are the ones we most often find issues with, and the ones we enjoy helping most. Many problems can be fixed without starting again. At worst, our audit will tell you where any issues lie, so you can get a clear picture and plan ahead.

Usually you can’t tell just by looking at it, which is why we check. Outdated themes, plugins and PHP versions are the most common way websites get hacked. Your audit will show whether any of these apply to you.

Not always. Sometimes it can be safely updated or patched. If it’s past saving, fixing it can cost more than a fresh start. We’ll give you an honest view on which makes more sense.

Absolutely. That’s one of the most common worries we hear. We can update everything for you and test it properly, using a separate copy of your site where needed, so your live website isn’t put at risk.

Yes. We regularly take on websites built by other WordPress developers, including ones whose original developer is no longer around.

Not at all. We can audit and support your website wherever it’s hosted. If moving it would make it faster or more secure, we’ll mention that as an option.

We’ll tell you what’s involved and what it will cost before any work starts. Depending on what we find, that might be a one-off fix, ongoing Support and Maintenance, a move to our secure WordPress hosting, or a new website.

Regular care is the key. Our Support and Maintenance covers updates, backups, security and vulnerability checks, and a monthly report, so your site stays safe and you don’t have to think about it.

Yes. We check that your details on Google Search and Maps are accurate and complete. We can help tidy it up as part of our SEO and content work.
