Website audit

A website audit is a review of a site's performance, SEO, design, and conversion — finding what's costing you visitors, rankings, or sales. It turns a vague sense that 'the site underperforms' into a specific, prioritised list.

A website audit is a structured review of a site across the things that actually matter: speed and Core Web Vitals, SEO health, accessibility, design and clarity, and how well the site turns visitors into customers. It replaces a nagging “our site could be better” with a specific, ranked list of what’s wrong and what it’s costing you.

The value is in the prioritisation. Almost any site has dozens of possible improvements; an audit sorts them by impact so you fix the things losing you real visitors and revenue first, rather than repainting a button while a slow page bleeds traffic. A good audit is honest about what’s fine, too — not every finding is worth acting on, and saying so builds trust.

It’s often the cleanest way to start, before deciding whether you need tweaks or a rebuild. See how we approach building right in clean, fast, found.
