Small things that lose visitors
A broken link, an unlabelled form field or a page that will not fit a phone screen are the everyday reasons people give up on a website.
Website health check.
Find common issues with links, image descriptions, forms and mobile settings.
Why it matters
Search engines notice too
Image descriptions, headings and the mobile setting are what search engines read. Getting them right helps people find you as well as use the site.
A starting point, not a full audit
This check looks at one page and a sample of links. It is designed to give you and your website provider a clear list to start from.
Common questions
Before you run it, or after you have.
What does the health check look at?
One page of your website: whether images have text descriptions, whether form fields have names, whether headings are in a sensible order, whether the page has the setting that lets it fit a phone screen, and a sample of up to eight links to other pages on your site.
Is it safe to run?
Yes. We read the page as a visitor’s browser would and try a few links. We do not send any forms or change anything.
Why only one page?
So the check stays quick and free. The problems it finds are usually repeated across a site, so one page is a good indicator. A full-site review is something we can do for you.
What do I do with the results?
Give the report to whoever looks after your website. Each item has a plain next step. Most are quick fixes.
Does a good result mean the site is fully accessible and fast?
No. This is a check of the everyday basics, not a full accessibility or performance audit. A good result means the basics on this page are in place.
