What is your first thought when hearing “spring cleaning”:
Deep home cleaning?
Marie Kondo?
Detox?
Website cleaning?
And if you happen to not understand why spring cleaning of a website would be important, then here are 5 signs that your website needs a general spring cleaning.
Ok, I admit that it doesn’t have to be exactly at this time of year, but it is such an inspiration right now.
Right?
If you are reading this and it’s not spring, the same is true and you can start cleaning and optimizing your website at any time.
5 Strong Signs Your Website Needs a Serious Spring Cleaning
1 | You have not read or refreshed the content on the website for more than 1 or 2 years.
Even if you know that you spent a lot of time preparing the content and it was well prepared, it is good to read it again after a while. I assure you that it will be possible to further optimize and improve it. If your services or products have changed, this is a must. It’s also nice to update the photos so they’re not too outdated.
2 | The website is not easy to use on a mobile phone.
If the website is not mobile-friendly, then you are missing out a lot. More and more visitors to the website are browsing the web via their mobile phones.
And optimizing not only means that the website is visible on the mobile, but that the user experience is great.
3 | You have to wait for more than 10s for the website to open.
There is not much patience in this world, especially when it comes to slow websites. If your website is very slow, then there is a good chance that the visitor will close it before it opens completely. This also means a lost potential customer.
4 | Google hardly knows your website.
If you type a keyword, your name, business name, service into Google… and you’re nowhere to be found… then your website probably needs SEO optimization. This is a search engine optimization (for like Google) that will help you get your website to rank higher.
5 | Most links on your site show a 404 error.
If you click on a page or find a link on Facebook, Google and you only get a 404 error, it means that the page on that link no longer exists. And that’s not ok, not for the visitor, not for Google… so it’s necessary to make redirects!
So… it’s time for spring cleaning and website optimization!
