Website Health Check: What It Is and Why Your Business Needs One

A website health check is a comprehensive scan of your site covering security, compliance, performance, SEO, accessibility, and digital presence. It identifies problems you cannot see and tells you how to fix them.

Why you need one

Your website might look fine to you. But under the surface there could be missing security protections, compliance gaps that carry fines, SEO problems preventing Google from ranking you, performance issues driving visitors away, and accessibility failures that exclude disabled users.

What gets checked

A proper health check covers at least: HTTPS encryption, security headers, privacy policy, cookie consent, terms of service, meta tags, structured data, image accessibility, page speed, mobile responsiveness, social media presence, and contact information visibility.

How often should you do one?

At minimum once a year. Ideally quarterly or monthly if your website changes frequently. Regulations change, plugins get updated, and new vulnerabilities are discovered constantly. A one-time check is good. Ongoing monitoring is better.
