Website Health Audit Guide

Combine availability, routing, crawl, security, and performance signals into a repeatable review.

1Build a representative URL inventory

Start by recording the intended outcome and the evidence available today. Work from representative URLs before expanding the scope, and keep the same settings for the verification run.

Review status, redirects, final destinations, timing, and supporting signals together. Group repeated findings by template or root cause so the implementation fixes the system rather than one URL at a time.

Document the result, owner, expected change, and verification date.

2Establish an HTTP and redirect baseline

Start by recording the intended outcome and the evidence available today. Work from representative URLs before expanding the scope, and keep the same settings for the verification run.

Review status, redirects, final destinations, timing, and supporting signals together. Group repeated findings by template or root cause so the implementation fixes the system rather than one URL at a time.

Document the result, owner, expected change, and verification date.

3Check DNS, SSL, and trust signals

Start by recording the intended outcome and the evidence available today. Work from representative URLs before expanding the scope, and keep the same settings for the verification run.

Review status, redirects, final destinations, timing, and supporting signals together. Group repeated findings by template or root cause so the implementation fixes the system rather than one URL at a time.

Document the result, owner, expected change, and verification date.

4Review slow and unstable destinations

Start by recording the intended outcome and the evidence available today. Work from representative URLs before expanding the scope, and keep the same settings for the verification run.

Review status, redirects, final destinations, timing, and supporting signals together. Group repeated findings by template or root cause so the implementation fixes the system rather than one URL at a time.

Document the result, owner, expected change, and verification date.

5Create an accountable repair plan

Start by recording the intended outcome and the evidence available today. Work from representative URLs before expanding the scope, and keep the same settings for the verification run.

Review status, redirects, final destinations, timing, and supporting signals together. Group repeated findings by template or root cause so the implementation fixes the system rather than one URL at a time.

Document the result, owner, expected change, and verification date.

6Save a baseline and schedule follow-up

Start by recording the intended outcome and the evidence available today. Work from representative URLs before expanding the scope, and keep the same settings for the verification run.

Review status, redirects, final destinations, timing, and supporting signals together. Group repeated findings by template or root cause so the implementation fixes the system rather than one URL at a time.

Document the result, owner, expected change, and verification date.
