Website Health Check Report

A Website Health Check is the review we run on the sites we look after, and on any site we are asked to take over. It answers one question: is this website still doing its job? We check the things that quietly stop working over time, such as links to businesses that have closed, pages that duplicate each other, images that no longer load, page titles that have drifted out of line, and content that has aged badly.

The report is not opinion or guesswork. It is based on what is measurably on the site today, page by page, with the action required set out against each finding. And data doesn’t lie.

If you want the full AI-generated version of this, which covers search visibility, competitor comparison and content rewriting as well, see our AI Website Health Check Service.

Whereas in the past we’d have spent hours (or even days) going through a website manually to provide a report on what needed doing (and that’s before we factored in the time required to actually implement the action required), our AI Health Check Service generates a report like this within minutes! Other than being primed by us to perform the task, the Health Check is written entirely by AI and then thoroughly checked by us before being sent to you.

Why do versions of WordPress and plugins in use on the website need to be regularly updated

WordPress and its plugins need to be updated regularly for several reasons and our AI Health Check will identify any issues:

  1. Security: WordPress is one of the most popular content management systems on the web, and this makes it a target for hackers and malicious attacks. Updating WordPress and its plugins to their latest versions ensures that any security vulnerabilities in the previous versions are patched, making it more difficult for attackers to exploit them.
  2. Bug Fixes: Software is never perfect, and WordPress is no exception. Updates to WordPress and its plugins often include bug fixes that address issues identified in previous versions. These fixes can improve the performance, stability, and usability of your website.
  3. Compatibility: As technology evolves, new versions of WordPress and plugins are released to ensure compatibility with the latest web standards, browsers, and operating systems. Updating your site ensures that your site continues to work smoothly with the latest technologies.
  4. New Features: Developers are always working on new features and improvements to WordPress and its plugins. Updating to the latest versions ensures that you can take advantage of the latest features and functionality.
  5. Support: Developers of WordPress and its plugins typically provide support only for the latest version. By keeping your site updated, you ensure that you have access to support from the developers when you need it.

In summary, updating WordPress and its plugins is important to ensure that your site remains secure, stable, and compatible with the latest technologies. It also provides access to new features and functionality and allows you to receive support from the developers when needed.
