Site health reports can provide you with valuable insight into the health and performance of your WordPress website.
WordPress site audits provide valuable insights into the overall health and performance of your WordPress website. Included in our managed WordPress hosting services, these audits reflect our commitment to continual improvement and the viability of your site. We aim not just to host your website but to enhance its performance. Depending on your needs, we offer weekly or monthly site audits with varying levels of developer assistance to help you tackle issues as they arise.
The Importance of a Site Audit
Traditionally, speed testing and Google Analytics have been benchmarks for measuring site performance, but they often fail to provide a comprehensive view of your website’s health. A thorough WordPress website audit offers detailed feedback on speed, performance, technical issues, and user experience. A good site audit prioritises issues that require immediate attention, ensuring you address the most critical problems first.
Regular WordPress site audits are crucial for quickly identifying new issues—before Google or other search engines discover them. Our site audits are generated using industry-standard tools, providing you with reliable insights into your website’s performance.
Key Features of a WordPress Website Audit
In addition to identifying general issues affecting your site, technical audits analyse each page for faults that can impact site speed and usability. They assess over 120 variables, with ongoing improvements continually being developed.
Common performance issues flagged in an SEO audit service may include:
- HTTPS / SSL certificate faults
- Content issues, including JavaScript and CSS errors
- Redirect issues
- Inefficient image and media sizing
- Toxic backlinks
- Hreflang tag problems
- Speed faults
- Security vulnerabilities
- SEO-related issues
- AMP implementation faults
Understanding Toxic Backlinks
Toxic backlinks come from spammy, insecure sites designed to artificially boost SEO at the expense of your website’s health. The content on these sites is often low-quality or automated. Although a backlink from such a site may not be your fault, Google can still penalise your site for it. Our reports provide a clear list of toxic backlinks, enabling you to quickly assess their quality and take necessary actions, such as disavowing them through Google Search Console.
Regular Keyword Tracking Reports
In addition to site health and toxic backlink reports, we provide regular keyword tracking reports. Tracking specific keywords’ performance in Google Analytics can be challenging, but our reports not only display the position of each keyword but also show how you compare to your competition.
Combining Site Audits with your WP Sparks developer hours:
With each of our Managed WordPress Hosting Packages, you receive varying amounts of time from a WP Sparks developer. This allows us to ensure everything is running smoothly with your site and tackle routine issues. Your developer hours are invaluable for continually improving your site speed and SEO scores reflected in your WordPress site audit.
If there are technical issues you don’t understand or aren’t comfortable with solving yourself, using your allocated developer hours on them is the perfect way to keep improving your site.
