Your Website Maintenance and Optimisation

The new tax year is here! Now is a good time to remind yourself that the world can be your small business’s oyster. Anything is possible if you put your mind to it.

If you haven’t made headway on the goals you’ve set for your business for 2025 yet, put your ideas into motion. Especially any aspirations you may have for your website.

Your website is the core of your entire digital presence. It has the power to attract visitors, convert them, and build customer loyalty.

Is your website doing all of this?

In this newsletter, we look at the importance of web optimisation and what you can do to ensure that your website keeps on working as well as it can for your business.
5 Ways to optimise your website
Website optimisation refers to the actions you can take on your website to increase its visibility and user experience.

Why do these actions matter?

Because the more people that find you online and enjoy spending time on your site, the better your chances will be to turn them into customers.

That’s the goal, right?

Let’s help. Optimise your website by doing the following:

  • Optimise your content

  • Speed up your website

  • Perform Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)

  • Get your website mobile-ready

  • Improve website security

  • Plugins and addons updates

Optimise your content

  • Update your content: Fresh, relevant, and regularly updated content is a key ranking factor.

  • Create new content: Content that is well put together and informative can attract your target audience, which in turn improves search rankings.

  • Add calls to action (CTA) buttons: Telling customers what you want them to do on each page optimises the success of that page i.e. “Buy now” or “Sign up”

Perform Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)

  • Use strategic keywords and meta descriptions: Optimise your content with relevant keywords and clear meta titles and descriptions within the character limits. This helps search engines understand your site and improves your chances of ranking higher.

  • Simplify your site’s structure: Use proper headings (H1, H2, etc.), lists, and meaningful tags. Well-structured pages are easier for search engines to crawl and help improve content delivery.

  • Improve usability with alt text and clean navigation: Add descriptive alt text to images and links, fix broken links, and ensure simple, straight forward navigation. This enhances visitor experience and boosts your SEO rankings.

Speed up your website

  • Test your site’s speed: Google prioritises fast-loading websites. Use a tool like Google PageSpeed Insights to see if your website needs speed optimisation.

  • Choose high-quality hosting: The best Web Hosting or WordPress Hosting, means your website will benefit from fast servers, a superior network infrastructure, local servers, dedicated resources, etc. all of which means quicker data transference and reduced loading times.

  • Optimise images: Large images slow down page load times. Use a Google-favoured WebP plugin or compression tool to reduce file sizes without compromising on quality.

  • Minimise HTTP requests: Fewer requests mean faster load times and a smoother browsing experience. Reduce the number of files your site loads by simplifying code, combining files, and removing unnecessary elements.

Get your website mobile-ready

  • Make your website responsive: With the bulk of internet browsers using mobile devices, search engines will rank your site higher if it can adapt to different screen sizes.

  • Simplify mobile navigation: Create concise, easy-to-use menus for smaller screens to improve visitor experience and reduce bounce rates.

  • Test your site on multiple devices: Ensure your website works properly across various devices and browsers to reach a wider audience and meet Google’s mobile-friendly requirements.

Improve website security

  • Install an SSL Certificate: Encrypt data transfers between your site and visitors. A secure website builds user trust and improves SEO ranking.

  • Update software: By regularly updating your website platform, plugins, and applications not only helps to patch security vulnerabilities but also maintains your site’s optimal performance.

  • Use a Web Application Firewall (WAF): Keep your data and site safe with a WAF, which protects your site against common threats and attacks.

  • Choose a reliable web host: A quality web hosting provider will offer advanced security features, regular backups, and server-level protection to improve your site’s safety.
