Why Every Website Needs an Audit

Your website is often the first impression of your brand and business. But is it working for you, or against you? A slow, outdated, or hard-to-navigate website can quietly drive visitors away, costing you leads and revenue.

At Jollity, we believe a thorough website audit is the best way to uncover hidden issues and ensure your site is optimized for success. Our in-depth evaluation covers everything from design and user experience to technical SEO, compliance, and security.

Common Website Issues & Why They Matter

Even the best websites can run into roadblocks that impact performance, accessibility, and user experience. Below are some of the most common issues we uncover during audits, along with the risks they pose to your site and business.

• Not ADA Compliant – A non-accessible website can lead to legal risks, particularly in states like New York and Colorado, where litigation for non-compliance is on the rise.
• Not Mobile Responsive – Mobile traffic now makes up over 50% of web visits (Research.com), so a poor mobile experience means you’re losing both potential users and SEO ranking.
• Poor UI/UX Flow – Confusing navigation, too many options, or unclear naming conventions create frustration, leading to higher bounce rates.
• Poor Information Hierarchy – If important content isn’t visually prioritized, users may overlook critical information.
• Slow Load Times – Non-optimized code, oversized images, outdated PHP versions, and legacy code can slow down your site, driving users away.
• Outdated Plugins & WordPress Core – Unmaintained software poses security vulnerabilities and functionality issues, leading to larger (and more costly) fixes down the road.
• Insufficient Hosting Plan – A low-tier hosting plan can lead to slow speeds, limited storage, security risks, and an inability to test site changes safely.
