Ten things to check on your own website in fifteen minutes, from a phone, with what to do about each.
Check these from your phone
- It loads securely. The address shows a padlock, not “Not secure”.
- Your phone number can be tapped to call.
- Your address or service area is on the site, in words, not only in a map.
- Your opening hours are there, and they are right.
- What you offer is listed, with prices where you can give them.
- Every page is easy to read on a phone without zooming.
- The contact form actually arrives. Send yourself a test.
- Pages open in a few seconds on mobile data. Large photos are the usual cause when they do not.
- The footer shows your legal company details and a link to a privacy notice.
- Your domain has SPF, DKIM and DMARC set, so nobody can easily send email as you.
What to do with the results
- Most of these are small fixes that whoever manages your site can do in an afternoon.
- If several fail at once, or nobody manages the site any more, that is usually the point where a rebuild costs less than patching.
