Website Maintenance

Congratulations, you've launched your new website and it's running live! Time to sit back and capture the leads, right? Right?! Well, maybe a quick coffee break with a sneaky Tim Tam, but not for too long because the World Wide Web never sleeps.

The internet is rife with bots, malware, and viruses, so website health checks are an important way to identify vulnerabilities and improve the overall user experience.

Health Check

Ensuring a website is running smoothly is vital for providing a positive user experience, which is key in retaining visitors and reducing bounce rates. Furthermore, health checks are essential for identifying and mitigating security risks, protecting both the website and its users from potential breaches and data theft. Regular health checks also help in identifying outdated content or technology, ensuring the website remains relevant and effective in achieving its goals.

Health checks involve a thorough review of various aspects of the site, such as:

• Security: Regular security audits help to identify and patch vulnerabilities, safeguarding the website against hacking, data breaches, and other cyber threats, thereby protecting user data and maintaining trust.

• Performance/Page Speed: Optimising page load times is important because faster websites offer a better user experience, reduce bounce rates, and are favored by search engines, directly impacting visitor satisfaction and search engine rankings.

• Search Visibility/Broken Links: Regularly identifying and repairing broken links is key to maintaining search visibility, as search engines favor websites with seamless navigation and a well-organised link structure, enhancing the site's overall reliability and user experience.

• Mobile Responsiveness: Most website traffic now comes from mobile devices. Providing an optimal viewing experience across various devices is essential for user engagement and retention.

• UX/UI: Regular updates to the website's user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) are vital for keeping the design intuitive and engaging, thereby enhancing user satisfaction and increasing the likelihood of repeat visits.

• Monitoring: Continuous monitoring of website performance, traffic, and user behavior provides valuable insights for making data-driven improvements, helping to identify trends, issues, and opportunities for growth.
