Website Audit Checklist

After doing only the best for your business, why to compromise with your website?

We all put a lot into our businesses and give our best to make it a success. From the best equipment to the best team, we make sure everything is perfect. Keeping this in mind, we have handcrafted a website audit checklist for you to make sure you got everything right.

STEP 1

Speed and performance

The user experience on your website gets hindered if it’s slow or doesn't function properly. This thing can surely pull you back in the race and it's essential that you avoid it completely.

STEP 2

Search Engine Optimization

Keep your SEO game strong to give your website the much-desired visibility.

Install plugins like the Yoast SEO or any other SEO plugin to make your website search engine friendly.

Make sure every page has a unique title, a meta description, and is optimized for keyword usage.

Also, make sure to optimize Google search console and Analytics integration for advanced insights on web traffic.

STEP 3

Aesthetics

Every eye catches the pretty thing and sticks to it. The same goes for our websites.

The aesthetics of your website need to be as good as how it functions. It puts in the first impression of your website in front of the audience. Make sure that it’s a lasting one that turns your audience into clients.

Ensure that your design is top quality and consistent.

Check for alignments and image distortion as well. It is to do with making sure your website looks professional.

With so many different devices and browsers out there, make sure the website looks good on ALL of them.

STEP 4

Content Check

Google takes it from content to provide the most precise search results to the audience. It is essential to make sure the content is relevant enough to bring traffic to your page directly.

At the same time, it’s also essential to make sure the content is original so that Google doesn’t penalize you for stealing content.

Don’t make the mistake of having a typo on any page. Take a few minutes and go back and proofread as much content as possible.

Also, look for other little issues with audio files, videos, or dummy text.

Check for SEO optimization through content.

Make sure all the spellings are correct and everything makes sense.

STEP 5

Code Check

Using permalinks that describe the content of each page makes them easy to remember, more usable, and more SEO-friendly.

Make sure all the links and forms in your website function properly.

Check for any broken links to boost user experience on your website and make sure the search engines find you easily.

STEP 6

Mobile Check

Your website must be mobile-friendly, and just as functional and pleasing on mobiles as it is on desktops.

The text should be easy to read on mobile devices, content should be the same on both versions of your website, navigation should be easy, buttons must have proper spacing, etc.

Confirm proper functioning on tablets as well.

Even Google depends upon the mobile version of the content for indexing and ranking. If your site is not mobile-friendly, optimization would be required urgently.

STEP 7

Cross-Browser Compatibility

It’s not enough to view the website from your browser alone. Additionally, you need to see how it appears in different versions of major browsers. At the bare minimum, you’ll need to test it on Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.

The website should work it's best at any given browser, without letting it degrade with the lack of browser features.

Check the functionality and display at multiple browsers.

STEP 8

Compliance And Legal Check

No matter how irrelevant it seems now, it's absolutely necessary if you don’t want to get into legal issues later.

Take care that required licenses are in place for images, fonts, plugins, etc.

Avoid stretchy, blur or free images from Google.

STEP 9

Satisfaction Check

If your website seems not what you wanted in any way, there is absolutely no point in adjusting with it. Your own satisfaction will bring in the confidence you need to deliver successfully to your clients.

Go for unlimited iterations to ensure that you’re satisfied with what you’re served.

Do not adjust with any error, get it worked upon until you're pleased with it.

It’s not just a working website you’re looking for but peace of mind that it is what you wanted it to be.
