A Magical Journey through the Realm of Website Auditing
In the fascinating world of digital kingdoms (websites), there exists a magical scroll, known as the website audit. This precious artifact helps the rulers (website owners) understand their kingdom’s health, the happiness of its inhabitants (users), and potential threats lurking in the shadows.
Join me, your guide on this enchanting adventure, as we explore the ten realms of the website audit, each teeming with wisdom and wonder.
A Peek into the Crystal Ball: Traffic
Just like a bustling marketplace filled with traders and travelers, your kingdom should attract crowds. The more visitors you have, the more lively your kingdom becomes. The magical crystal ball, also known as Google Analytics, allows you to peek into how many adventurers visit your kingdom and their journey through its many alleys.
The Kingdom’s Heartbeat: Site Health Audit
The site health audit reflects your kingdom’s vitality. Think of it as a health check-up with your royal physician. Here, the physician evaluates your kingdom’s architecture, the ease of navigation through your kingdom, the loading speed of your halls, and more. It’s like having a swift horse pulling your carriage through your kingdom.
The Festival Grounds: User Engagement
This is all about how your subjects interact within your kingdom. Are they exploring your halls? Are they conversing with you and each other? The more engaged they are, the more vibrant your kingdom becomes.
The Fortress Check: Website Performance
Just as a powerful fortress shields a kingdom, your website performance safeguards your users’ experience. Whether it’s loading pages quickly or ensuring every click leads to the right hall, your kingdom’s performance is vital to keep your subjects happy.
The Welcoming Committee: User Experience
In a kingdom, everyone should feel welcome and comfortable. If your subjects find it easy to explore your kingdom and discover its many treasures, they’re more likely to visit again. And so, ensuring a friendly user experience is as essential as arranging a warm welcome for your guests.
The Magical Tools: Functionality
Your kingdom should have magical tools (features) that help your subjects interact with it. Whether it’s a signpost pointing to the marketplace or a messenger pigeon for sending letters (contact form), your kingdom’s functionality is a cornerstone of your audit.
The Great Library: Content Audit
Every kingdom has a great library filled with stories, and these stories should be original. If your kingdom has duplicate content, it confuses the mystical creatures (search engines) who decide whether to send more adventurers your way or not.
The Mighty Shield: Website Security Audit
Your kingdom needs a mighty shield to protect against evil forces. If your kingdom is secure, your subjects feel safe. This audit uncovers potential vulnerabilities that could compromise your kingdom or your subjects’ peace.
The Conversion Alchemy: Conversion Rate Optimization Audit
Some adventurers visiting your kingdom might be more than passersby. With the right enchantment, you can turn them into loyal subjects. This audit helps you discover where this magical transformation happens or where it could happen more often.
The Dark Magic Detector: Negative SEO Audit
In the realm of SEO, sometimes spells can backfire. This audit helps you uncover harmful SEO practices that might be hindering your kingdom’s reputation with the mystical creatures, allowing you to correct your course.
