Free WordPress health check
Is anyone looking after your website?
If your developer has gone quiet, or you're just not sure when your website was last updated, find out where it stands. In a couple of minutes we'll check its updates, security and hosting, and email you an honest report.
- Out-of-date WordPress, plugins and theme
- Security weak spots and your SSL certificate
- Hosting speed and Google's own speed test
Your health check is on its way.
Check your inbox in a few minutes (and your spam folder, just in case).
Want it taken care of?

It looks like we already look after this website, so rather than send an automatic check, Danny will be in touch personally.

What we check
The things that quietly go wrong when nobody's watching.
WordPress websites need regular care. When updates stop, small problems build up until something breaks, or someone gets in.
WordPress updates
Whether your website is running the latest version of WordPress, and how far behind it is if not.
Plugins and theme
Which of your plugins and your theme look out of date. These are the usual way in for hackers.
Security weak spots
Public admin usernames, open XML-RPC, missing security headers and other common gaps attackers look for.
SSL certificate
That your website loads securely, and how long until the certificate needs renewing.
Hosting and server
How quickly your server responds, and whether it is running a PHP version that still gets security fixes.
Google's speed test
Your mobile scores from Google PageSpeed Insights, the same test Google uses when it ranks you.
Sound familiar?
Signs your website has been left to fend for itself.
Many of our care plan clients came to us after their original developer disappeared or stopped replying. It's more common than you'd think, and it's fixable.

Good questions
Is it really free?
Yes. There's no charge and no catch. Lots of our care plan clients started with a health check, which is why we're happy to do them.
Do you need my logins?
No. We only check what can be seen from outside your website. If you later want us to look after it, we'll help you get the logins sorted, even if your old developer has gone quiet.
Will my developer know?
No. The check looks at your website the same way any visitor or search engine does. Nobody is notified.
What if my website isn't WordPress?
You'll still get the security, SSL and hosting checks, which apply to every website. The WordPress-specific checks are skipped.
What happens after the check?
Nothing, unless you want it to. If something needs fixing, you can fix it yourself, ask your developer, or ask us. Our care plans start from £60 + VAT a month, with no long contract.
