Signs You Need a WordPress Website Audit

Not sure if your site needs a check-up? Look out for these common signs. If any of them sound familiar, it’s time to let Accent take a look. Our WordPress audit can boost your website’s performance, security, and design, leading to more visitors, leads, and sales.

Decreased Website Traffic

Are you not getting as many visitors as you used to? It might be time for a WordPress site audit. We can pinpoint where your site is failing and give you tips to turn things around.

Worryingly Low Conversion

Having trouble turning visitors into leads or sales? Your site might not be optimised for conversions. A WordPress website audit can spot areas where your site isn’t user-friendly or persuasive and offer tips to improve it.

Poor Mobile Experience

With so many people browsing on smartphones and tablets, having a mobile-friendly site is a must. If your website isn’t up to par on mobile devices, you could be missing out on a huge chunk of your audience. A WordPress website audit can help make sure your site is accessible to everyone.

Outdated Design

If your website looks like it’s stuck in the 1990s, it’s definitely time for a refresh. A WordPress website audit can assess your design and recommend updates to bring it into the modern age.

Security Vulnerabilities

Worried about your site’s security? A website audit can find weaknesses and suggest fixes to protect you from hackers and data breaches. Keeping your site secure is crucial.

Broken Links & Errors

Frustrated by broken links or error messages? So are your visitors. A WordPress website audit can help identify and fix these issues, ensuring a smoother experience for everyone.

A Good Base for Support

One great benefit of a WordPress audit is that it helps create a solid knowledge base about your site. By doing a single audit, our team gets to know your website inside and out.

This knowledge base is super handy for answering your questions, troubleshooting issues, and making smart decisions about improvements.

With a WordPress website audit, you’ll get documentation of your site’s security settings, accessibility features, and other technical details. This info helps you make informed decisions about enhancing your site’s security, accessibility, and performance.

After Accent delivers your WordPress audit report, you’ll have a clear roadmap of prioritised recommendations to boost your website. You can tackle these tasks yourself, or let Accent handle them. We offer ongoing website development and support services, so you don’t have to worry about your WordPress site anymore. With a monthly retainer, our team of experts becomes your team of experts.

It’s been a pleasure working with Accent. They have fulfilled our requirements, answering these with the building of a new site for us, using adaptable technology that fits our needs.
