Website health check

Is your website digital presence starting to show its age? Whether you need a routine website security health check or suspect slow performance is hurting your conversions, maintaining peak condition is vital.

As a leading web development agency, our website health check provides a complete, 360-degree audit of your digital asset. We give you a clear, actionable plan to improve security, boost performance, and achieve peace of mind before you invest in further web design services.

What is included in a website health check?

We go beyond a simple automated website health check tool. Our experts dive deep into the critical areas of your website to give you a true picture of its health, providing clear recommendations on how to remedy them through our web development services.

  • Security and core updates: Are you running outdated versions of your CMS, plugins or server software? Whether you need a custom audit or a specific WordPress website health check, we identify known vulnerabilities and missing patches that leave your website exposed to attack.

  • Performance and speed: A slow website drives visitors away and hurts your SEO and web marketing. We analyse load times, identify bottlenecks and provide clear recommendations to make your site faster for a better user experience. 

  • Technical SEO audit: Is your website structured for success on search engines? We perform a rigorous Google website health check to assess critical on-page and technical SEO elements to ensure you capture and convert valuable organic traffic.

  • User Experience (UX) and Accessibility: We review your site's key user journeys to identify points of friction that could be costing you conversions. We also check for major accessibility issues, ensuring your web design is usable by as many people as possible.

  • Backup and Recovery: If your website crashed today, could you restore it? We check that you have a reliable, regularly tested backup system in place for complete business continuity—a fundamental pillar of our website services.

Why should you check the health of your website?

A website that isn’t actively managed can hide a multitude of problems. These issues not only damage your brand reputation but can also negatively affect your bottom line. We understand these problems, and can help you get your website back on track.

  • Messy inheritance

    Has a previous web agency left you with a site that’s difficult to manage or poorly documented?

  • Poor performance

    Does your website have a slow user experience and weak technical foundations that fail to convert visitors?

  • Exposure to risk

    Are outdated plugins and missing security patches creating unnecessary business liabilities.

  • The unknown

    Are you worried about hidden security flaws or performance issues waiting to cause a catastrophe?

Frequently asked questions

  • Why do I need to do a health check?

    A regular health check is preventative care for your most important digital asset. It helps you identify and fix critical security and performance issues before they cause a catastrophe, ensures you're visible to search engines, and provides a clear roadmap for future improvements, giving you confidence and peace of mind.

  • Where can I find an online website health check report for my domain?

    You can request a comprehensive website health check right here at Brew Digital. By filling out the form above, our web design and social media marketing team will manually review your site and provide a bespoke, actionable report rather than relying on a generic automated scan.

  • What are the essential components of a comprehensive website health check?

    A true 360-degree audit covers several critical pillars. It should include a website security health check, a performance and speed analysis, a thorough website SEO health check, and a UX/accessibility review to ensure your digital web design is fundamentally sound.

  • How do I improve my website's loading speed for better user experience?

    Improving load speed often involves optimising images, implementing caching, minimising code, and improving server response times. Our audits check website health status from top to bottom, identifying exactly which bottlenecks are slowing you down so our experts can suggest targeted fixes.

  • What access will you require?

    To perform a comprehensive health check, we typically require administrator-level access to your website's Content Management System (CMS). Depending on the depth of the audit, we may also need access to your hosting control panel and any connected analytics platforms to get a complete picture of performance and setup.

  • Do you offer a WordPress website health check?

    Yes! A dedicated WordPress website health check is particularly crucial for identifying the outdated plugins and theme vulnerabilities that commonly affect the platform.
