Small Business: Review Website Content and Links

Does your website content give customers and prospective customers a reason to visit often?  One of the most important things to do is to test all of the links on your website.  The ones that link to other pages on your website, and any that link to outside content are the most important to ensure there are no broken links.  Broken links make your site look unprofessional, and customers will usually move on instantly if they find a site with broken links. 

Check all of the outbound links on your site quickly and easily by using the World Wide Web Consortium’s, W3C link checker.  

Make sure that your website review includes the hidden sections of your web site, including your content management system (CMS).  If you have any password-protected areas, make sure to review the login access and decide whether it is time to update and change those passwords.  It is recommended to update passwords every 90 days to deter hackers from access to these areas.
