In today’s world, everyone, everything, has a website. It’s how we share information, do business and keep up to date with what’s going on in the world. You go online now, and take a look at 5 random websites, and you’ll find a selection of design choices, technical choices and ultimately, a different user experience across them all.
A website audit assesses aspects like SEO, content, UX and performance to identify and advise on areas of strength, and areas for improvement.
What Is a Website Audit?
A website audit is generally made up of the following areas:
- Content: In the era of AI, human content that feels relatable, appropriate and directly meets the needs of the user browsing still wins.
- UX/UI: How users are able to navigate the website directly influences their actions. This is where conversion rates, specifically conversion rate optimization, comes in.
- SEO: Usually separated into on-page and off-page, this covers everything from alt text for images, to header structure and url redirects. For both search engines and artificial intelligence (AI), SEO remains vital for online growth.
- Performance: Simply put, if your website is too slow, no users will stay, nor will search engines rank you highly. Common website builders like WordPress, Webflow, Shopify and so on usually offer acceptable speeds.
What Is Conversion Rate Optimization?
Conversion rate optimisation (CRO) is a series of best practices being implemented in order to increase the number of times a user takes a desired action on a website. The action depends on the website; booking a call for a B2B sales company, purchasing a product for a flower company, or creating an account for a software as a service company. CRO focuses on getting the most out of existing traffic, rather than gaining new traffic.
What Tools Can Be Used For a Website Audit?
To complete a full website audit, the list of tools is long. The most common tools include:
- Content: Accessibility (WAVE), reading level, expert writers review
- UX/UI: Hotjar, an expert designers report, user testing
- SEO: Semrush, ahrefs, screaming fog, google search console, google analytics
- Performance: ahrefs, web.dev, lighthouse
Why Conduct A Website Audit?
A website audit is a crucial step, especially if you are planning major changes such as a redesign, rebuild or platform migration. It is equally valuable after changes have been made, allowing you to assess the impact and pinpoint exactly where performance may have declined. A thorough audit helps you determine what went wrong, when it happened, and how long it has been affecting your site, while identifying the root causes behind any issues.
Beyond diagnosing problems, an audit gives you a clear plan of action. It highlights priority areas, offers practical, evidence-based recommendations, and provides a structured framework to guide your development work and marketing strategy in the months ahead.
