Website Health Check
Free expert review of your website’s security, performance, accessibility and SEO.
A website health check (or technical website audit) evaluates the security, performance, accessibility, SEO and usability of a website to identify risks and improvement opportunities. Our Website Health Check is a comprehensive technical review of your website, designed to identify risks, weaknesses, and improvement opportunities across the areas that matter most. Unlike automated website audit tools or generic scanners, this assessment combines automated analysis with expert human review. The result is a clear, practical report explaining what we found and what should be prioritised. Reports are typically delivered within 24–48 hours. Your report covers the key pillars of website health:
What happens during the website health check
- You complete the form – provide a few details about your organisation and website.
- We run the manual and automated checks with analysis – we analyse your site across security, performance, accessibility, SEO and usability.
- We provide a clear, prioritised website audit report so you know exactly what requires attention and what can wait. Reports are typically delivered within 24–48 hours. The assessment is completely free and carries no obligation.
- (Optional) Book a 30 minute triage to plan fixes – If useful, we can walk through the findings together and discuss next steps.
