The week your customers finally show up is the worst week to discover a broken contact form. Run these seven checks now, while there’s time.
- Check your padlock. Visit your site and confirm the address bar shows a secure padlock. Look up when your certificate expires and write the date down.
- Test your contact form. Send yourself a message and make sure it arrives. Check spam too.
- Update your holiday hours. Fix them on your website, your Google listing, and your email signature.
- Test your speed. Load your home page on your phone. If it feels slow, shrink your largest images.
- Check your backup. Look for the date of the last one. If you can’t find one, set one up.
- Review your home page. Take down old seasonal messages and any expired offers.
- Confirm your details. Phone, address, and email should match everywhere they appear.
Make it a habit
Set a reminder for the same week each year. It takes about half an hour.
About that backup
If your host runs backups for you, this check is quick. If it doesn’t, a separate website backup plan is a cheap safety net.
