End of Summer Website Checkup: 7 Things Every Small Business Should Review

As summer winds down, it is a good time to take a few minutes and make sure your website is in good shape heading into a busy fall season.

1. Confirm Your Backups Are Running

Check that Website Backup has recent, successful backups on file.

2. Review Your Security Status

Make sure Website Security scans are current and nothing has been flagged.

3. Check for Outdated Content

Update hours, pricing, and seasonal information that may have changed over the summer.

4. Test Every Contact Method

Send a test message to confirm your Professional Email is working and being checked regularly.

5. Confirm Your Domain Is Not Expiring Soon

Check your Domain Registration renewal date so you are never caught off guard.

6. Review Site Speed

A slow website loses visitors quickly. If load times feel sluggish, your WordPress Hosting plan may need an upgrade.

7. Walk Through Your Own Site as a Customer

Fresh eyes catch problems automated tools miss. Click through your own website like a first time visitor would.

Next Step

A quick seasonal checkup now prevents bigger problems later.
