Be sure to grab the full PDF checklist so you can tick off each item you’re testing on your site to make sure it’s in tip-top shape!

In fact, now is a great time to make sure your website is in good shape and up-to-date as more and more people are online looking for your products and services to pass the time during the quarantines and lockdowns across the country.

Now that we’re spending a lot more time indoors, this is the perfect chance to give your website a check-up, as website maintenance is important to make sure users can navigate your site easily and aren’t put off by things not working, or loading.

In this video, I’ll be covering how to give your website a check-up, but ooooooh so much more like:

OVERALL:
❖ Make sure it loads in 3-4 seconds
❖ Update your plugins (but back-up your site first before you do this!)
❖ Make sure you have an SSL certificate
❖ Correct any broken links

TESTING:
❖ Test every link
❖ Test all social media links
❖ Test buy now links
❖ Test your contact forms
❖ Test your lead capture process
❖ Test your email opt-in form
❖ Test your email unsubscribe button
❖ Test all your videos
❖ Test your blog/podcast share button

OTHER:
❖ Do any dates need to be changed?
❖ Are there any time-sensitive blog posts?
❖ Any weird bits of code that shouldn’t be there?
