About This Audit
Run a free best practice audit to evaluate your website against modern development standards and guidelines recommended by Google and the wider web community.
What is a Website Best Practice Audit
A Best Practice Audit checks your site follows modern web development standards such as HTTPS implementation, use of secure JavaScript libraries, avoidance of deprecated APIs, safe cross-origin requests, and much more. It also looks at issues that can affect performance and stability, like proper use of responsive images, optimised caching, and error-free browser console logs.
What is Included in this FREE Best Practice Report
This Free Best Practice audit scans your website URL to identify any technical issues that may compromise performance, security, or user trust. Issues that need your attention will be highlighted, showing you exactly what needs improvement and how to fix it. The website URL you enter is also scored from 0-100 based on the number of failure points detected by the audit: 0 to 49 (poor), 50 to 89 (Needs Improvement), 90 to 100 (Good).
Why Best Practice Development Matters
Following best website development practices is not just about technical compliance but also about building trust. For example, if your site loads mixed content (HTTP elements on an HTTPS page), users may see browser warnings, which could discourage them from staying. Similarly, if your site uses outdated libraries, it could expose your website visitors to security vulnerabilities. This audit helps identify problems like these before they damage your credibility or put your users at risk.
