Is your website quietly losing you customers?
Find out in about an hour. The 60-Minute Website Health Check walks you through six simple checks in plain English, plus a scorecard, fix list and 20-minute monthly routine.
Websites don’t break loudly
Most problems build up quietly while you’re busy running your business. If any of these ring a bell, this guide is for you.
You haven’t had an enquiry through the website in a while, and you’re not sure why.
There’s a little number next to “Updates” that you’ve been ignoring.
You’re not sure who has the logins to your domain or hosting.
You’ve been told you “should be doing backups” but don’t know if you are.
What you’ll check
Each check is written for business owners, not developers. Part 1 is looking only, so there’s nothing to break.
Can customers reach you?
Test your forms, phone links and Google details the way a customer would.
Can Google find you?
Catch the one setting that hides whole websites from Google, and fix vague search listings.
Is it fast on a phone?
Run Google’s free speed test and understand what the results actually mean.
The five-second test
Find out whether visitors instantly understand what you do.
Is it secure?
Review your updates, plugins, logins and PHP version.
Could you recover?
Check your backups, domain renewal and who owns your accounts.

Hi, I’m Carly
I’m the WordPress developer behind Hatched Designs in Adelaide, and I’ve been building and looking after WordPress websites for more than 15 years. This guide covers the same checks I’d start with on any website I’m asked to look after, written so you can do them yourself.
Your questions
Do I need to be technical?
No. The checks are looking only, so you can’t break anything, and every step is explained in plain English.
Does it work if my site isn’t WordPress?
Many checks (contact forms, Google, speed, the five-second test and domain renewals) work for any website. The security and update sections are specific to WordPress.
Is this a sales pitch in disguise?
No. Everything you need is in the guide. If you’d like help afterwards, there’s a short page explaining how I can help, and that’s it.
How long does it really take?
Around 60 minutes for the full check, depending on your site. You can split it into six 10-minute sessions.
One coffee. One hour. A healthier website.
